Advice please?

A small limited company pays off 2018 corporation tax on time and in full.
The tax year ends for this company end Oct.
If the company stops trading in Aug and applies to be struck off and is successful at being struck off, what happens to the accounts which would have needed to be done in Oct 19?
Would HMRC be on top of collecting any corporation tax during the unaccounted period?

 

[Mr D]

You are presuming HMRC won't object to striking off.

If company is struck off then that's it - debts die, no more filing of paperwork, no more using the company name...

If at the time of application to strike off all tax payments have been made, could they object about the tax from the few months of trading that hasn’t been accounted for?

 

[Mr D]

Its October before you apply. So they would be aware that year end has arrived.

Hi

I agree with Mr D , HMRC will in general object on the basis that accounts for the final period haven’t been filed.

However as I have said before in this site whether or not they will take any other action is doubtful and eventually companies house will strike the Company off.

I assume there are no assets or creditors?

HMRC will object as final returns not submitted - you will have to keep trying.
