Company Formation for Porthcawl: the basics
Starting a company in Porthcawl? We incorporate it at Companies House, register it for Corporation Tax and, where appropriate, PAYE and VAT, set up the bookkeeping software and talk you through the director’s responsibilities, so you start compliant rather than catching up later.
Welsh taxpayers pay Welsh rates of Income Tax, which currently match England’s, collected by HMRC. Property purchases in Wales are subject to Land Transaction Tax, which has its own bands and is administered by the Welsh Revenue Authority.

Company Formation questions
Answers for Porthcawl clients. Your accountant can go into detail for your situation.
Companies House usually approves an online incorporation within 24 hours on a working day. HMRC registrations follow in the days after.
It depends on profit level, risk, how you want to pay yourself and your plans for growth. We run the comparison for your numbers before you decide; a company is not automatically better.
A limited company must have its own account because it is a separate legal person. Sole traders are not legally required to, but it makes bookkeeping far simpler and MTD easier.
Annual accounts and a Corporation Tax return, a confirmation statement each year, PAYE submissions if you have payroll, and VAT returns if registered. All of these are covered by your plan.
