UK Tax and Corporate Services for International Businesses

The UK remains one of the world's most attractive destinations for international investment and expansion.
But establishing and running a UK operation — whether through a new subsidiary, an acquisition, or an existing entity — requires careful navigation of a tax and regulatory framework that is both demanding and constantly evolving.

At Laggan, we work with two distinct groups of business clients: international groups and foreign companies looking to establish or expand their UK presence, and businesses already operating in the UK that need a reliable, specialist adviser to handle their ongoing tax and corporate needs.

Setting Up in the UK

For international groups considering a UK presence, the structural decisions made at the outset have long-term consequences. Should you establish a subsidiary or operate through a branch? Does your current UK activity already create a permanent establishment — and therefore a UK tax liability you may not be aware of?

How should intercompany transactions be structured to manage transfer pricing risk? What are the UK tax implications of an acquisition versus an organic set-up?

These are not questions with standard answers. The right structure depends on the nature of your business, the profile of your group, your growth plans, and the jurisdictions involved.

We work with boards and management teams to analyse the options and implement the right solution from day one.

Running a UK Entity

For businesses already operating in the UK, we provide the full range of tax and corporate services needed to keep a UK entity compliant, well-governed and efficiently run.

This includes corporation tax compliance and planning, VAT registration and returns, accounting and bookkeeping, payroll, company secretarial, and director and trustee services.

For international groups with a UK subsidiary, we also act as the local point of contact — providing the parent company and its advisers with timely, accurate reporting and a direct line to specialists who understand both the UK position and the international context.

Why Laggan

We have been advising International businesses on their UK operations for over 25 years.

We understand the concerns of a foreign board making decisions about an unfamiliar jurisdiction, and we provide clear, practical advice that allows you to move quickly and with confidence.
