During company formation, you’ll need to choose a business structure, such as a limited company or a sole proprietorship, and appoint directors and shareholders. You’ll also need to register for taxes and obtain any necessary licenses and permits. By forming a company, you can protect your personal assets, establish credibility, and access funding opportunities.

Capital Gains Tax, commonly abbreviated as CGT, is the tax levied on a profit one gets from an asset sale, disposal, or other realization that, when sold or otherwise disposed of, is valued at a higher amount than its value upon purchase. Such assets in the United Kingdom include but are not limited to property, stocks, and shares-except one’s main residence. The amount of tax varies with income and type of asset, at varying rates for different individuals and trusts. Add to that the exemptions and allowances that reduce your CGT liability, including the Annual Exempt Amount. Any person who sells an asset in the UK should know about CGT because it may substantially affect your financial outcome after selling the asset.
IHT is the tax charged on the estate-that is, the property, money, and other possessions-of the person who has died. In the UK, IHT is usually payable if the value of the estate exceeds a threshold known as the nil-rate band. Where the value of the estate is below this threshold, no IHT is usually payable. However, if the value of the estate exceeds the threshold, IHT is charged at a rate of 40% on the amount in excess of the threshold. Reliefs and exemptions are available, providing a reduction in the IHT payable. It is prudent to consult a professional if one is not sure about their IHT liability.
