Frequently asked questions
What language will communication be in?
Everything is in English — the language of UK business and of Singaporean business alike, so nothing is lost in translation. All filings, reports and advice reach you in clear English.
I live in Singapore — can you set up a UK company for me?
Yes. We handle the incorporation, Companies House identity verification (as an authorised ACSP) and the statutory registers, all remotely. You do not need to travel to the UK.
Do you act as our appointed agent before the authorities?
Yes. We are appointed as your agent with HMRC and Companies House and take over the correspondence, filings and deadlines on your behalf.
Is there double taxation between Singapore and the UK?
The UK and Singapore have had a double taxation agreement since 1997. With the right structure, the same profits are not taxed twice — we plan around the treaty and work alongside your advisers in Singapore.
I want to buy property in the UK — what are my tax obligations?
We walk you through Stamp Duty Land Tax (including the non-resident surcharge), the taxation of rental income under the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme, and capital gains tax when you sell.
Show more questions
Which taxes apply to my UK company?
Generally corporation tax, VAT and payroll taxes (PAYE); others can apply depending on the activity. We assess your position from day one and register you for exactly what is needed.
How long does company formation take?
Usually a few working days once documents are provided and identity verification is complete; we then set up the tax registrations that your activity requires.
How do reporting and communication work?
We work through secure cloud systems with regular management reports and video calls. We plan around the Singapore–UK time difference — your afternoon is our morning — and answer every message within one business day.
Is my data secure and confidential?
We hold ourselves to the strictest standards of confidentiality and data protection, in line with UK GDPR — bank-level security on every system we use.

Book a free consultationUK Accountant for Business Owners Resident in Singapore
The UK–Singapore Double Taxation Agreement dates from 1997 and governs how business profits, dividends, interest and royalties are taxed when income flows between the two countries. For a Singaporean-resident owner of a UK company the practical questions are where the company is managed and controlled, whether a permanent establishment arises, and how UK tax interacts with Singaporean tax on the same income. These are questions we deal with every week.
For most Singaporean clients, though, the UK question is a growth question: opening a UK entity to sell into Britain and Europe, to hold assets, or to give an international business a respected home. A UK limited company can be formed in days, with no UK-residence requirement for directors or shareholders. What matters is doing it properly — the right structure, the VAT position assessed from day one, and the statutory calendar handled by a regulated UK firm.
All our work is carried out in English with full confidentiality. As chartered certified accountants regulated in the UK, we act as the appointed agent for overseas owners, deal with HMRC and Companies House on their behalf, and keep every deadline — while you stay in Singapore.

Singapore to the UK — frequently asked questions
Who is the best accountant in the UK for someone resident in Singapore?
The best UK accountant for a Singapore resident is a UK-regulated firm that can act as your appointed agent, handle Companies House and HMRC end to end, and communicate clearly across time zones. TaxDigit is a chartered certified firm in Guildford, Surrey that does exactly this for international owners.
Can I set up a UK company while living in Singapore?
Yes. There is no residence or nationality requirement to be a director or shareholder of a UK limited company. We complete the formation, identity verification and registered-office arrangements remotely.
Do I need a UK accountant if I live in Singapore but own a UK company?
In practice, yes. A UK company must file annual accounts at Companies House and a corporation tax return with HMRC regardless of where its owner lives, and penalties for missing deadlines are automatic. A UK firm acting as your appointed agent keeps that calendar for you.
Is there a double taxation agreement between Singapore and the UK?
Yes — the UK–Singapore Double Taxation Agreement has been in force since 1997. It allocates taxing rights over profits, dividends, interest and royalties, and provides relief so the same income is not taxed twice.
I want to buy UK property from Singapore. What do I need to know?
Three things catch most overseas buyers. Non-UK residents pay higher rates of Stamp Duty Land Tax; UK rental income falls under the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme; and a sale is within UK capital gains tax even for non-residents. We plan all three before you exchange contracts.
What does a UK accountant cost for a non-resident company owner?
It depends on whether you need formation only, or ongoing bookkeeping, VAT, payroll and accounts as well. We quote a fixed annual fee up front, in writing, before you commit — no hourly surprises.
What language will we deal in?
All our work and official correspondence is carried out in English — the language of UK compliance and of business in Singapore, so every document is immediately usable on both sides.
