Holding Company?

Dec 08, 2003 7 Replies

Hi,



If one has a lump sum (over 50,000) to invest in shares, is there any benefit in setting up a holding company? Or is it better to invest privately?



TIA, GTS


It's normally better to hold them privately, but it depends on your circumstances.

In what situation would it be better to use a limited company?

Care to explore this a little?

When the rate of corporation tax is less than tax & NIC on individuals.

I was wondering if there was anything else besides this - but thanks!

If you set up an investment trust there is (broadly) no tax levied within it, but I think ITs have to be listed and you probably need a bit more than £50k to make it worthwhile!
