    Asking for a friend.

    Waste of time or valid approach? It's probably overthinking and belt n braces...

    Thanks

    Be aware that HMRC have the chance to object to the closing of any limited co before it is actually closed. So...........

    Just ask QDOS what the substitution notice period required is to pass the review. I'm surprised that they haven't suggested the amendment.

    I was thinking more of the VAT advantages from opening a new company.

    If you passed previous reviews then there isn't an issue. Keep your evidence and keep going.
    It's more of an issue if you haven't got any evidence of being treated as a contractor or failed a review and ignored it. Or rather, if your friend did....
