By running your business through a limited company you can save tens of thousands of pounds in tax and national insurance.

Why? To start with UK corporation tax rates are often much lower than income tax rates. Secondly, company owners can pay themselves dividends, which are taxed much less heavily than other forms of income. Finally, setting up a company with your spouse or partner allows you to split your income which almost always results in a lower tax bill.

That’s not all. Tax and national insurance increases announced in the April 2009 Budget mean using a company will produce even bigger tax savings in the years ahead!
