Suppose you were given some shares, say in a football club, as a bonus. If you kept them as an individual, you might be liable for a lot of income tax on that bonus 'cos let's suppose the shares were worth £500k (actually nearer £700k 'cos you got them cheaper than other shareholders). So to work around the tax liability, suppose you received those shares into the limited company you ran instead. Then later, suppose your company sold the shares back to you as an individual for say, £20k and then you closed the company down owing around £370k to the taxman. Of course, this is all a hypothetical example of what you could do but if you did do all that, it would be a bit naughty wouldn't it?
