Advice is needed on the UK tax implications of a USA limited liability corporation

I turned down acting for a potential client because he has a United States limited liability corporation (LLC). He is a US citizen (non-UK domiciled) residing and working in the UK as an employee for a UK business that is unconnected with his LLC.

The LLC is loss making and continues to operate in the USA. My questions are as follows.

  1. What are the UK tax implications of operating a foreign LLC whether or not on a remittance basis?
  2. How is the loss or the profit reported for UK tax purposes?
  3. What are the implications between operating the LLC on a sole or a joint basis?

I would be very grateful for any advice on this matter.
