Do HMRC send letters via Recorded Delivery?

[EnrageEnterprise]

Hi,

Bit of an odd question I know, but do they?

I have a letter waiting for me at the local sorting office that is addressed to 'The directors' of my ltd company. It was dormant for a long time, yet it began trading from march to may this year and haven't filed my taxt return yet (was die 31/5/2011) - could this be a letter from them? Do they send letters re: late tax returns via recorded delivery.

I have literally no idea what else it could be as I don't use the company anymore.

Thanks.

Here's an idea.

Pop down there, pick it up and open it and you'll know

I can't get to the sorting office for at least another week as I'm away and there's no one else who can pick it up....or else I would!

All kinds of people send recorded letters to Ltd companies.

Some to the Registered Office and some to the Directors' home address.

It might be possible to phone up the sorting office, ask them nicely for their assistance, ask them who sent it and ask them to hold on to it while you are away. If you are abroad, use Skype.
A relative once sent me an unsolicited Special Delivery parcel and they returned it because I hadn't collected it for a few weeks - I was away on business.

Companies House send out warning letters by recorded delivery if the accounts and/or annual return are overdue. It's probably from them, maybe threatening to start the striking off process.

You can have it redelivered to same or different address on day of your choice either by phone or online. They only keep them for 7 days.

Thank you for the response! Very much appreciated.

What happens during the striking off process?
