UK Corporate Tax Adviser Needed — Carried-Forward Losses
I’m seeking an experienced UK corporate tax adviser to review the ownership structure for a new container self-storage business, initially one site with plans to expand to three or four. I already own a UK limited company conducting futures trading and some strategy consulting. It has approximately £400,000 of confirmed carried-forward tax losses. Their eligibility for use against profits of another group company needs to be established. The assignment is to compare: Owning the new storage company personally. Making it a subsidiary of the existing company. Establishing a new holding company owning both as separate subsidiaries. The written review should cover: The amount, categories and availability of the existing losses, based on the tax computations and supporting records. Group-relief restrictions, including losses arising before the group is formed, ownership changes and any requirement to continue the existing activity. The proposed holding-company insertion, including a share-for-share exchange and relevant clearances. Capital allowances for asset-financed storage containers, subject to the financing terms. Funding, profit withdrawals, future expansion and sale implications. Whether my recent permanent return to the UK after approximately two years in Thailand requires a separate residence or cross-border review. The storage business is expected to lease land on a long-term basis. Accounts, tax computations and provisional business forecasts can be shared securely with the selected adviser. Please include in your proposal: Your qualifications and relevant experience with carried-forward group-loss relief and holding-company insertions. Who would personally undertake and sign off the advice, including any external specialist involvement. Confirmation of professional indemnity insurance covering this work. A fixed fee for the initial review and written recommendation, stating assumptions and exclusions. Expected turnaround time and documents required. Implementation and ongoing accounting should be quoted separately. The initial engagement is for advice; the ownership structure has not yet been decided. CTA qualification is preferred, although chartered accountants with demonstrable experience in these matters are welcome. Self-storage experience would be useful but is not essential.

US International Tax Specialist for a Foreign-Owned US LLC
I need a written opinion from a qualified US tax professional on the US federal and state tax position of a foreign-owned US LLC, before the business begins generating income. Structure: a single-member LLC formed in New Mexico, treated by default as a disregarded entity for US federal tax. Its sole member is a Maltese holding company, in turn owned by an EU-resident individual. The LLC runs an online digital media and education business, with no US office or staff but mostly US-based suppliers (payments, ads, freelancers, hosting). The individual owner recently transferred website and IP assets into the LLC, recorded as an intercompany payable rather than cash, and separately provides monthly services for a fixed fee. A US attorney has already prepared a governance memorandum on the New Mexico entity-law side. It does not opine on the US tax questions and refers them to a tax specialist. I will share it under NDA to define scope precisely. WHAT I NEED A clear written memorandum, with conclusions and reasoning, covering: Entity classification: confirm foreign-owned disregarded-entity status and its consequences, and whether any election (e.g. to be taxed as a corporation) is advisable. Form 5472 / pro forma 1120: filing obligations, reportable transactions, deadlines, penalties; whether the asset transfer, the intercompany loan, and the monthly service payments are captured correctly. Can you also file these going forward? FATCA: whether the Maltese member certifies on Form W-8BEN-E as Active or Passive NFFE, given the disregarded LLC carries on an active business; confirm correct completion. Treaty: whether a Malta-US treaty claim in Part III is appropriate or left blank (a claim generally matters only with US-source withholdable income); if made, the Limitation on Benefits basis. US withholding on: (a) the monthly service fee to the non-US owner; (b) interest on the intercompany loan to that individual (US-source? portfolio-interest exemption or treaty rate?); (c) any future distributions to the Maltese parent. Intercompany loan: whether the payable is respected as debt for US purposes; whether the interest rate is defensibly arm's length; and the US timing of accrued/capitalized interest, plus any double-taxation or timing mismatch with the owner's home country (where interest is taxed as it accrues, regardless of payment). Asset basis: US tax basis of the transferred websites/IP, its relationship to the self-prepared valuation, and any risk of inconsistent cross-border positions. Cross-border reporting: any FATCA, FBAR, or other US information-reporting obligations for the entity or owner. State tax: any New Mexico filing or nexus questions, given a NM office but operations run personally from outside the US. Coordination: a high-level note on how the above interacts with the owner's non-US (Spanish) position (asset transfer and loan interest). Not a Spanish tax opinion, only US-side coordination and consistency points. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS A US CPA, IRS Enrolled Agent, or US tax attorney in good standing, with hands-on experience of foreign-owned US LLCs and Form 5472, and comfortable with FATCA (W-8BEN-E), US withholding, and tax treaties. Please cite comparable work. TO APPLY, INCLUDE: Your credential and verifiable number (CPA license + state; EA enrollment number; or attorney bar number). I verify before hiring, so this is required. 2-3 sentences on your experience with foreign-owned US disregarded entities. Fixed price and turnaround for the written opinion. Whether you can also handle the ongoing Form 5472 filings.
