The above questions are not an exhaustive, but they do highlight the need to take specialist advice before any decision is made and the examination of personal circumstances and requirements cannot be overstated. Every individual’s circumstances are different in terms of where they are on their career path, what their financial requirements are plus what plans they are making for retirement.

Your accountant will certainly benefit from additional fees if you decide to set-up a limited company but will the additional accountancy costs and potential loss of future pension negate the tax savings?!
