Those companies that do not make significant costs and expenses in their operations generally consider the tax option. The deductible Ltd is definitely more suitable for service activities without significant investments. For instance, these include consultancy activities, e-learning, design, IT services. Moreover, in other activities a deductible Ltd is not the appropriate type because of the different tax base on costs of material or goods.
