Corporate investments

Hi all,

Looking at an investment for a company £200k ish. They are not a micro entity, so should fall under FRS 102. Portfolio will be equity heavy.

Trying to decide on whether Onshore bond or GIA is best. Most things I read say the latter. But... If the underlying investments are taxed in the same way whether in a bond or not, i.e. dividends are tax free & gains pay CT, does the tax credit on the bond make this more favourable, as the bond won't have suffered tax in it's lifetime? (so essentially you are getting a credit for something that hasn't been paid?)

I may be over simplifying this... And may have overlooked something!

Thanks in advance
