It's fine to MVL if going permanent.
Probably fine (with some small proviso's regarding returning to contracting within 2 years) if you go via an umbrella.
A complete no no to use ER if you are starting up again immediately.
If I go back Umbrella it’s 2 years from closure, then if I get an outside role, I’ll start another ltd.Comment

go umbrella and that argument doesn't work
Maslin posted a very good reply about it yesterday but it is on a thread that seems to have been deleted.
The issue isn't really one of can I close my company, it was more how easy would it be to start it up again without bareface lying to HMRC.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Of course contractors are closing via MVL and I don’t believe for a second HMRC will stop people opening ltd in the future. Makes absolutely no sense and probably illegal.Comment

Easy to argue the permanent job fell apart and you had to go back contracting.
Far harder to say your umbrella contract fell apart and you returned to contracting using a limited company.
Semantics is everything here.
And HMRC won't stop you re-opening a company. What we are talking about here is HMRC chasing you for inappropriate claimed entrepreneur relief as you reopen a limited company.
And as I stated in my previous post Maslin had explained it far better than I did.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
