Anyone know what's involved with closing your company down? How do I go about it and how long does it take? I've heard that ESC16 (for 10% CGT) can take around 3 months! If that's the case then I am not going to have enough time to close the company down before I leave!
I will be traveling the globe for 5 - 6 months starting in around 3 months. After contracting solid for 3.5 years this also gives me an excuse(hopefully) to close down the company and pay 10% CGT tax. (However I will want to start contracting again when I get back so hopefully won't be classed as a 'pheonix' company ). This way I can get access to the all the funds in the business account to take advantage of the falling house market so should be able to pick up a flat without a mortgage which will save a pretty penny in the long run
