Business Start-Up Advise

. This website aim to help you understand some of the many things you need to think about when you are incorporating and running a business. Setting up a small business involves a number of important steps if you want to get things right first time. There will always be an element of trial and error in starting up a business; however, we hope this overview will guide you through the initial steps, based on the experiences of the Coddan team and our contributors. Before incorporate your business in any country one of the first things to investigate is the tax and VAT situation as you do not want to find yourself paying over large chunks of your profits in exorbitant taxes.

A UK resident company is liable to UK corporation tax on its worldwide profits. A non-UK resident company is liable to UK corporation tax on the profits of a trade carried on by it through a branch or agency in the UK.

UK legislation provides that the profits attributable to the permanent establishment are the profits which it would have made if it were a distinct and separate enterprise, engaged in the same or similar activities under the same or similar conditions, dealing wholly independently with the rest of the non-resident company of which it is a part. In applying the legislation the permanent establishment is treated as having equity and loan capital in the proportions relevant for an independent company operating in the UK. The relevant legislation is construed in accordance with OECD guidelines. A non-UK resident company which carries on a trade in the UK otherwise than through a permanent establishment is liable to UK income tax rather than corporation tax on the profits attributable to that trade.

It is not possible generally to reduce the amount of UK taxable profits by means of adopting artificial pricing methods. Under both UK tax law and the UK's double tax treaties, the UK Inland Revenue is able to ignore actual prices and charge tax as if arms' length prices had been paid. This would catch, for example, excessively high interest and management charges and royalties that are paid to the non-resident parent of a UK subsidiary with a view to reducing the profits subject to UK tax.

What We Can Do For YouCoddan aims to provide all of our clients with the most efficient and convenient services possible. Electronic filing is currently administered for new UK company formations, and Coddan CPM Limited is one of a few select companies that is authorised to present new company documents directly to the UK Companies House, enabling the full incorporation of each company without the need to submit any paper forms.

Since Coddan is always searching for new ways to improve our service to customers, we are proud to announce that we now have a similar e-filing method for new companies in the Republic of Ireland, which will allow us to reduce the period of time it takes to incorporate new Irish entities by 50%. The Companies Registration Office (CRO) in Ireland recognises our company as one of the few providers of the CRODisk scheme, which was originally developed by the CRO with the purpose of minimising incorporation time and creating a more cost-effective option for registering a company.

By utilising a special software, which is pre-approved by the CRO, Coddan has the ability to send all new company formation details immediately to the CRO for review. All basic incorporations are now able to be completed within 5 business days.

Important Links

Operating as a limited company often gives suppliers and customers a sense of confidence in a business. Quite often, larger organisations in particular will prefer not to deal with non-limited businesses.
The formation of a limited company is one simple and low cost method to protect a business name. Whilst this does not in itself give any rights to use of the business name, many clients incorporate companies in anticipation of future development of new businesses or in order to protect the limited company name of an existing non-limited business for the future.
