UK Ltd Co, Working & Residing Abroad?

[pr3science]

Ive been doing a little more research, primarily through the helpful members of this forum and found a couple of threads dealing directly with this issue:

Good Morning,

I am currently a self employed 'Day Trader', trading anything listed on the London Stock Exchange. Below are some of my details:

- I have a permanent residence in the UK (25+ years)
- Turnover is around £70k pa
- Work derived solely from a PC


Having recently looked into the benefits of setting up a sole director 'Limited Company', would anyone be so kind to explain some questions i have:

- Im interested in moving abroad (EU) to a warmer climate, (France, Switzerland, Spain), and im interested in how residency and tax laws apply?
- Is it complicated to live and work in a foreign country as a director whilst still paying UK corporation tax?
- Presumably the 'work' will have taken place where i reside, hence income tax will be applicable?
- I would like to live abroad for anywhere between two and infinite years, hence setting up a foreign ltd co maybe a hassle if i only stay there for 2 years?
- Particularly for Switzerland is it hard to rent a 'homeoffice' given my situation (residency issues?)


I have not yet incorporated into a Ltd co, as im interested in emigrating, however i was planning on doing so in the near future, particularly if the foreign residence (with a UK ltd) issue was not overcomplicated.


I found this thread partially answered some of my questions:

Any information would be gratefully received and i thank you in advance.

All the best,

Alan
