Scottish contractors' limited companies

[minestrone]

Look on the bright side the SNP just want your money, the numpties in the Welsh (Assembly) Government are bringing in bills that will allow them to steal your body parts.

Presumably after death, but you just can't trust these Liebour scumbags.

We are getting a hate crime bill and minimum booze prices. SNP are not very Scottish to me when they want to tax and outlaw our two favourite hobbies.

Labour have been calling them the tartan tories for years but in a socialism contest the SNP are easily the winners. At this rate I will be digging a hole in a field soon at year zero and anyone who writes poetry will go 'missing'.

You make that sound like a bad thing.

When England get their independance will any of us sweaties give a phuq!!?

Are the SNP a bunch of lefties then? I thought they just wanted to grab money from London. A sort of socialism that they don't pay for.

I have a little SC on the company number.

Not really much of a difference just now but the way things are going I will be paying 0% corporation tax, 60% income tax and 10% council tax. The SNP's brand of socialism scares the crap out of me.

I know a number of contractors in the Oil & Gas industries have them as they use Aberdeen based accts who provide a registered address.

I did briefly but their service level was crapola. Not cos they were Scottish, just crap.

YMMV as always.

I'm wondering if they are cheaper.

It's been a while since I did one, but I seem to remember that if you went through any of these registration agents, rather than doing it yourself, that Scottish companies were more expensive.

Is a Scottish LTD somehow different to an English one, and if so does it offer advantages?

Nothing, other than the people being nicer

I do but my accountant is also based in Scotland and he provides registered office facilities too.

To be honest, i think it comes down to your registered office location and I know some Jock contractors who use companies incorporated in England.

I think this is correct, my ltd company number has "SC" at the start of it, and I think this was triggered by the address of my registred office - I don't remember filling in anything else, and the registration was done on the normal Companies House web, not any Scottish version.

Do contractors north of the border run Scottish limited companies?

Yes, why not?
