No doubt a decision many are wrestling with.
To aid forward planning what is tricky is a lack of any unambiguous confirmation of various shut down options (MVL vs strike off) & their future impact
I know these have been done to death & i may have missed a key thread or sticky, but seems to be much contradictory info on the web (& this great forum) & some accountants cannot be fully replied upon it seems for accurate info...
Perhaps this is in the wrong section but can anyone in the know clarify:
1. For a voluntary strike off (not an mvl liquidation) where Dividends have reduced profit to <25k and a capital distribution (with or without ER claimed) is then taken, do the TAAR (or any other) two year rules apply to prohibit opening another company without losing the capital gain advantage?
2. For a shut down via MVL, if permiedom or semi-retirement or job hunting doesnt work out, can you def come back via an Umbrella within 2 years without any issues on this score?
Even if intention is firmly to shut down & go perm or retire, understanding the options clearly helps
Im in the same situation and posted a question in the acocunting forum here. My accountant says it does apply if you sont "intend" on opening another company. But going perm shows you didnt intend to do it within 2 years. on here, one person jsut said, dont worry about it, risk is small. ANother said it doesnt apply if less than £25k as you wont be invoking ER. So I dont know - Im going to take the chance and do it anyway following accountants adviceLeave a comment:

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostIf its been patchy last few years it's going to be an absolutely nightmare come April. On that alone I say 70k. These perm gigs won't be around post April so the smart move is to bag them early.
You only need to be off 3 or 4 months this year and you'll be earning more tham the contract gig.
I guess so, probably worth lying low and being in something, till the market works it’s self out........decisions decisions decisions....Leave a comment:
