Most accountants will tell you that working through your limited company in the most productive tax efficient way possible. However, you should create a company in the UK and not getting confused with some other uncompromising and illegal tax schemes currently being offered. If you live and work in the UK then you are bound to pay tax in the UK. There are other strange tax schemes being offered, HMRC does not approve them as they are anti tax avoiding schemes. Remember that as a tax payer you have collective responsibility to pay tax under Income tax act of 2007.
