HW FISHER LLP

We were appointed to assist a Netherlands corporate group that wanted to commence business in the UK. We advised the group on the pros and cons of operating via a UK branch of the Netherlands parent company or through a UK subsidiary company. The decision was taken to incorporate a UK subsidiary which would undertake the business in the UK. We advised the client and assisted with the initial set up of the UK subsidiary covering: 1. Companies House registration and annual filings 2. Appointment of directors 3. VAT registration 4. Payroll scheme registration 5. Registration with HMRC for corporation tax 6. Filing requirements in relation to statutory financial statements 7. Transfer pricing obligations The UK subsidiary is part of a larger worldwide group and is therefore subject to audit. We have therefore undertaken the audit of the financial statements together with preparation of the annual corporation tax return.
