How to disolve untraded limited company ?

[Bigbird]

To close the Co down yourself if you wanted to involves one form fron Co House (which can be downloaded from their website) and a fee of £10.00.

If you want to keep the company open but dormant it will cost you either £15 or £30 to file an annual return each year (£15 webfiling and £30 if you do a paper one) and you will also need to submit dormant accounts to Co House each year and a nil CT600 to the Inland Revenue. You can do both of these online now too.

AFAIK you will struggle to keep a VAT reg on a non-trading company, or even get one in the first place as they usually ask for proof of trade and/or contracts before they will register you.

I won't go into which accountancy for now, but basically I paid
£100 for company formation and then £70.50 as additional admin charge for setting up VAT, Bank account etc.

After about two weeks I decided to disolve the company which hasn't traded , I thought the above charges included the cost of that.

However I have just discoved the acountants want another £70.50 to disolve the company, is this quite simple to do ? Can I do this myself ?


Also I've had a letter from the IR and they want me to send them details of when I intend to trade. (I persume I just tell then I intend to disolve the company?)

I'd just ignore any letters and eventually you'll get struck off.

tnks bigbird,

is that a 363s for the dormant dec.

and can I submit a Form DCA as the balance sheet ? as the company has never traded or any expenses incurred.

also are these relatively easy to fill in or is it best to get an account to do it ?

Also do I need to fill these forms in now ?, or at the end of the accounting year. i.e the date of incoperation.
