Overview

Why United Kingdom?

The UK corporate tax rate is 19% for profits up to GBP 50,000 and 25% for profits above GBP 250,000. In between, Marginal Relief applies.

VAT is 20% and mandatory from an annual turnover of GBP 90,000. LLPs (Limited Liability Partnerships) are tax-transparent: partners are taxed on their share directly, which can be interesting for international structures.

Strasia Group offers complete accounting and tax services for UK companies: from ongoing bookkeeping to Companies House filings and HMRC tax returns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Ltd and LLP?
A UK Limited (Ltd) is a corporation with 19–25% corporate tax. An LLP (Limited Liability Partnership) is tax-transparent: partners are taxed on their share directly. Whether that is cheaper than a Ltd depends on where the partners are resident and where the profits arise.
When do I need to register for VAT?
VAT registration is mandatory from an annual turnover of GBP 90,000. Below that, registration is voluntary.
What software does Strasia Group use?
We use modern cloud-based accounting software such as QuickBooks and Xero. Documents can be submitted via Google Drive, Dropbox or post. Communication is via WhatsApp, Telegram and email.
When is the UK tax return due?
Annual accounts must be filed with Companies House within 9 months after the financial year end. The corporate tax return (CT600) is due with HMRC within 12 months.
How does LLP taxation work for non-UK residents?
A UK LLP is tax-transparent: profits are attributed to partners and taxed in their home country. For non-UK residents without UK-sourced income, this may mean no UK tax applies. We review your individual situation.
Can Strasia handle bookkeeping fully remotely?
Yes. We handle all bookkeeping, Companies House filings, HMRC tax returns and annual accounts fully remotely; you do not need to travel to the UK for it.
What are the deadlines for Corporation Tax and Companies House in the UK?
The Corporation Tax return (CT600) must be filed with HMRC within 12 months of the financial year end, while tax payment is due after 9 months and one day. Annual Accounts must be filed with Companies House within 9 months, and the Confirmation Statement is due annually. Late filings result in automatic penalties.
