    Hi Nischa, I can vouch for everything in this video; very well presented. I started as a sole trader 16 years ago and formed my LTD company 12 years ago. Never needed to borrow money to grow, but being LTD company has definitely opened up opportunities with bigger corporate clients. Thanks for continuing to share good independent information.👏

      Hi Nischa, given that debanking has become more of an issue in the media, could you do an video on dealing with this? This is an issue that effects people on benefits all the way up to peers in the House of Lords; I rent a space out for a mental health charity with local government ties and contracts in good standing, and we've had the problem too. A section on market research would be of particular benefit to people, I think, because different branding doesn't mean they're not part of the same banking group. @@nischa

    5:05 Why is your company paying Corp. Tax on revenue before it's paying you as an employee a monthly wage? Surely wages would count as a business expense and expenses are paid before tax?
    Company pays you a wage before it pays tax > you the individual is then taxed on that income > business pays Corp. Tax after expenses > dividends are paid out of profits > you pay dividend tax depending on your tax bracket.

    • @nischa
      @nischa  10 месяцев назад +4

      Yep, that's right - you're paying corporation tax on profit and not revenue. Income tax is only on your salary/what you draw out (or dividend tax depending on the structure), you don't pay the corporation tax on that. The example assumes you've kept it all in your company

    @Trading-Lawyer 10 месяцев назад +2

    Thank you for the insights, Nischa! Very helpful. If I may add that another key difference is insolvency/bankruptcy proceedings. In the case of a sole trader, several jurisdictions provide for the liquidation of personal assets, which is an aspect to consider before assuming big risks!

  • @bajajmusic3825
    @bajajmusic3825 10 месяцев назад +3

    Good video, however you’ve missed one very important point. If you were to extract the profits from the LTD ie pay yourself a salary etc you end up paying double taxation. 25% corporation tax, followed by either tax on dividends or income tax. Therefore you end up paying significantly more especially if you’re a Higher Rate Tax Payer.

    If the person is interested in taking all/most of the money out from the Limited Company, then they would pay corporate tax + income tax, isn’t it worse than just paying income tax as a sole trader when the amount of money is £200K+ per year

    • @IncomeBoost42
      @IncomeBoost42 10 месяцев назад +5

      You can take money out of your company as a salary or dividends. Salary is taxed differently from dividends. If you take it out as salary it is an expense to the company and reduces corporation tax. But at the same time you’d pay higher income tax rates. If you take it out as dividends, this would be out of profits, after corporation tax has been paid. However the dividend tax rates are lower. A common strategy is to withdraw part salary and part dividend to minimise tax.

    Hey Nischa, thanks for the video but surely that tax implications section here is a little overly simplistic and assumes that the example case doesn't need to spend any money personally beyond their £12,750 personal allowance? If the person needs to pay for things (mortgage/childcare etc.) or wants to put money into personal savings surely the tax calculation completely changes?

    A third option will be to move into a more friendly tax country. If I will generate 1 mill+ in profits/year have no sense whatsoever to pay 400k or more in taxes when just by moving to a sunny place with a 10 to 20% tax for the same amount of money, will save you a lot on the long run.
