A business across the UK and US: personal and company tax

Your cross-border tax questions.
Draw a simple ownership and role map. Include each entity's name, your role and the person responsible for its records, without trying to decide its tax treatment yourself.
- Which adviser will review my personal position and which will review the company?
- What should I check before changing where I manage or work for the business?
- How should I document salary, distributions and ownership changes separately?
Make the next conversation easier
Records for your tax review.
Keep these in your own records. You do not need to send Treaty documents, amounts or personal details.
- Company structure and ownership documents
- Role agreements and payment records
- A timeline of business and personal changes
Your next step in tax research.
Prepare two agendas—personal and company—and identify any decisions that need coordinated advice before they happen. Treaty’s public pages do not assess company tax obligations.
