I was considering to incorporate in UK (not for tax reasons but for transparency of their laws compared with the place where I live). My accountant told me that recently there had been laws introduced making it basically impossible to become significant shareholder unless you relocate. I have not confirmed this myself as I'm yet to review regulations.

We have formed our Ltd in the UK pretty much exactly one year ago and it wasn’t a problem for us - however, the Ltd is a subsidiary of our German company, so I’m not a direct shareholder. This may or may not change things.
