Husband wants to go 50:50 with wife on company ownership

Posted by FirstTab PM | on Mon, 21/11/2011 - 15:56  3180  17 comments | report

One of my clients who has 100% ownership of his limited company, wants his wife to have 50% ownership of the company.

The company has been trading for three months and has not made profits at this stage.

The husband currently owns 100 Ord Shares in his company:

  1. Would it better to issue 100 ord shares to wife or  transfer 50 of his shares to his wife?
  2. They would be no tax implications since the company has not been a profit? Does HMRC needs to be informed? If so, what is the process?

Thanks
