As a limited company, you are formally incorporated with Companies House and your tax structure changes entirely.
These changes could be confusing if you recently transitioned away from self-employment or another type of work that blended your personal and business interests.
Company cars are a great perk, but they also come with obligations to HMRC. If you provide or receive a company car, you need to report any vehicles used on private journeys, the fuel used on those journeys, and any adaptations made for employees with disabilities.
Making Tax Digital (MTD), the new scheme from HMRC, which requires VAT-registered businesses to use a digital system to file their taxes, is now up and running.

The UK government is making tax digital. From 2019, if you manage a VAT-registered company, and you have a turnover of more than £85,000 per year, you will be required to keep digital records and submit returns created using software that is compatible with Making Tax Digital (also known as MTD).
When a new employee is hired, they will need a tax code. However, the tax code for the new employee will depend on whether or not a valid P45 has been handed to the new employer.
If you’re carrying out work or earning money independently (i.e. not as an employee), you need to register as self-employed. You could be a plumber or electrician, someone who sells on eBay or Etsy, or a virtual assistant.
