Tax & payroll
Create a PAYE reference and register the company as an employer when you pay salaries subject to income tax and National Insurance in the United Kingdom.
A UK Private Limited Company (Ltd) is a separate legal entity registered at Companies House. Non-resident founders from the Gulf, Egypt, the Levant and North Africa can form one remotely when identity is verified through an authorised ACSP. Eteform.com Ltd handles the English name check, SIC activity, IN01 filing and ACSP checks — usually delivering the Certificate of Incorporation within 24–48 working hours. Packages start from £50; Companies House government fees are shown separately before payment.
After incorporation you receive a CRN and digital documents. Many founders then open Wise Business or Revolut Business, set a London registered office if needed, and prepare for Stripe, Shopify or Amazon using matching company details. Annual duties typically include the Confirmation Statement (CS01), accounts, and Corporation Tax registration with HMRC when trading starts. Dormant companies still have lighter filing duties — they are not a full exemption from Companies House.
UK Ltd formation does not grant UK residency or a visa, and bank or payment-gateway approval is never guaranteed. What we control is a correctly filed, transparent entity with Arabic support from order to certificate — so you can compare packages, read the formation guide, or start your order with clear GBP pricing.

When you have one or more employees in the UK receiving salaries from which income tax and National Insurance are deducted under the rules. Payments to contractors via another company’s invoices are usually a different path. A UK-resident director’s salary may enter the system; a non-resident director with no UK salary is often outside immediate need.
Every payroll cycle needs correct calculation, on-time reports and payment of amounts due. Mistakes here show up quickly with HMRC. Our service establishes the reference; ongoing operation is the responsibility of the payroll system/accountant you choose.
PAYE concerns individuals’ salaries. Corporation Tax is on the entity’s profits, and VAT on supplies. Three different paths; none replaces another. Order them according to whether you employ, sell or make profits.
Usually not as classic PAYE salary, but other obligations may exist depending on the contract and residence. Describe your case before registering so you do not create a reference without need.
No. Setup and guidance only. Monthly calculation is priced with a payroll provider or accountant.
Often faster than VAT registration, but it depends on complete company data and HMRC matching.
The Fully Inclusive package includes VAT and PAYE registration within the initial formation scope as described on /pricing and /en/pricing — monthly payroll operation is separate.
It depends on residence, salary amount and the rules in force. Do not register “just in case” without need; consult a UK accountant before the first salary.
