My partner and I run an internet property company (www.spainrealestate.co.uk) in spain which is a Spanish registered SL. We are thinking about going back to the UK and therefore either wish to sell the business, liquidate it or possibly run it from the UK. As such there are a number of tax issues we have in terms of capital gains if we were to sell the business and also if we were to take it back to the UK.If we do not sell, we would like to find a way of taking out funds from the spanish to take back to the UK to finance a new business property refurbishment project. Would it be better to perform this project via a company UK based or offshore company ?

Hi

I propose you to incorporate :

- whether a pure Offshore company as Niue ($ 2500 with nominees) with a bank account. BVI is also interesting. We have an official big partner in BVI. You will have to proove the origin of the funds because our partners are serious. It is a guarantee for you and for us.
- or a Luxembourgish company fully taxable (so no problem with spanish or uk tax authorities) but with tax exemption on capital gains and dividend distributed by subsidiaries. Afterwards, you incorporate your business in UK (a subsidiary, 75 % held by the Luxembourgish). Dividends shall be distributed towards Luxembourg. The Luxembourgish company can be liquidated afterwards. One of its shareholder can be a Mauritius Company so obviously all the money can stay in Mauritius (our partner in Mauritius is Enrst and young (http://www.ey.com).
In Mauritius, you can finalize the operation with the BVI which should be one of the shareholder of the Mauritius company.

1st solution if the amount is not big,
2 solution if the amount is big.

In both cases, we can help you in a secure environment.
