Will I be taxed twice?
Check whether your country has a double taxation treaty with the UK, and what it means for tax on income from your UK company.

What is a double taxation treaty?
It's an agreement between two countries that stops the same income being fully taxed twice. It sets which country taxes different income types (such as dividends and salary) and provides relief or a tax credit. Relief usually has to be claimed correctly, not assumed.
Remember: even with a treaty, your UK company still pays UK Corporation Tax. The treaty mainly affects your personal tax on what you take out of the company.
