Customer Question

Hi, I'm contacting you as I'm having a question, I've been suggested to open an LLP company in UK myself not being UK citizen nor living in the UK, being said that any income coming from outside UK (and all the related benefits) wouldn't been taxed (0%) I'll have to pay however my taxes in my tax resident country. Before confirming the opening process I'd like to have a second confirmation as I know it can become tricky when dealing with taxes and the last thing I want is having issues with my UK company accounting or having last minute taxes which weren't anticipated. Many Thanks
JA: Which tax year is this for?
Customer: Hi, next year I'd say since the company is not yet incorporated, It'll be within the next month
JA: Is there anything else the Accountant should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: No that's all the details I'll have right now

Thank you for your patience.

LLP are usually not taxable.

The distribution of funds is taxable by each member through their personal tax return.

Hello thanks for feedback. Ok so this means that when not living in UK I will not as a shareholder be taxed in UK, I'll be taxed in my tax residence country if I have well understood, correct ?
Expert:  Mo Tax Expert replied 16 days ago.

With LLP you are not a shareholder as such, but a member.

Any income received you may need to pay withholding tax as a non-resident.

I'll need to pay non resident tax in UK as well as my incoming revenue tax in the country in which I'm resident ?
Customer: replied 16 days ago.
Being understood that I'll have no incoming / outgoing transaction with UK companies
Expert:  Mo Tax Expert replied 16 days ago.

Yes, you would, you are receiving income from a company within the UK.

Hi,

I haven't heard back from you.

I have explained about the LLP and the tax obligation if you extract funds from the LLP as a non-resident.

I hope this was helpful.
