Tax Concerns for Start-Ups
Even the formation of your new start-up business can have implications on the tax consequences – for example will be you be a sole trader or a limited liability company?
We’ve summarised the main tax concerns below:
Are you going to be self-employed and do you need to register for Self-Assessment?
Will you need to be VAT registered?
Your start-up business will need to register for VAT if your total taxable turnover exceeds the current VAT registration threshold
Can you claim Capital Allowances?
You can claim capital allowances when you buy equipment, machinery or vehicles to use in your business. You can deduct some or all of the value of the item from your profits before you pay tax.
Will you have to pay on Capital Gains?
When you dispose of business assets that have increased in value you may be taxed on the gain you have made. You won’t have to pay Capital Gains Tax if all your gains in a year are under your tax-free allowance. However, you decide to structure your business, there is some excellent advice on the GOV.UK website.
