Is it necessary to file accounts, confirmation statement and verify ID for a business that is in the process of being dissolved and struck off?

I have 2 UK limited companies. One was just a holding business for investments, the other is related to music/performing/recording.

I've filed accounts and done confirmation statements for both in the past. I dissolved the holding company on 31st October and applied to strike it off the Companies House register, and my application was accepted. However, when I look at my company on Companies House, it's status is not yet dissolved, but it's listed as Active — Active proposal to strike off.

I've received some emails saying that a confimrmation statement and director identification statements are due for this company by 22nd January. My question is, do I need to submit these, given that I've applied to dissolve/strike off the company? And would any further accounts need to be submitted once the company is officially listed as dissovled?

Secondly, I'm looking to dissolve the music related company and apply to strike it off the register in the next few days. The next accounts are due by 31st January and the confirmation statement is due by 5th May. Do I still need to file these after applying to dissolve/strike it off?

Thanks.

No need to file CS and final accounts with Companies House if dissolving although you may need to submit CT600 to HMRC.
I believe you will also have to verify your ID with Companies House before you apply to dissolve the second Company.
