UK Company Setup & Compliance
Companies House registration, UK tax compliance, and post-Brexit trading structure advisory.
About This Service
The United Kingdom remains a major destination for Indian businesses in pharmaceuticals, IT services, financial services, and professional services. A UK private limited company (Ltd) can be formed in under 24 hours through Companies House. JCA advises on UK corporate tax (25% main rate from April 2023), UK VAT registration (threshold: GBP 90,000), PAYE/employer obligations, and the India-UK Double Tax Convention. Post-Brexit, trade between India and the UK operates under MFN WTO terms — we advise on customs duty optimisation and UK Global Tariff classification.
