Refunds
Use your Company Tax Return to tell HMRC if you think you’re due a Corporation Tax refund (known as a ‘repayment’) and how you want it paid.
You can either:
get it paid directly to your company’s bank account or someone else’s account - include the account number and sort code on every tax return you file
It was a very long time ago, but I believe I had a company tax refund paid directly to me in a past life: HMRC sent me a cheque for the company and I called and told them the company didn't exist any more, and asked them to re-send the cheque in my name.

Same as what everyone else has said. I think if someone owed me over £600 I wouldn't be sitting around waiting for it to appear..

There were upfront costs. What I said was there aren’t any ongoing monthly costs - as they would otherwise be an obvious factor in the decision.
So it won't be a priority for him to do anything if paid work is available.
Just chase it up yourself...

Pick up the phone yourself. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Shall I bother waiting longer for CT refund?
The company closure process has been dragging on for 6 months.
It's now been 15 weeks since the accountant filed the necessary returns stating that a £680 Corporation Tax refund is due from HMRC.
If that was received and then paid to me personally together with any other leftover funds, I would be keeping an extra £680 x (1-10%) = £612
Note: Accountant isn't charging any monthly fees while this is going on.
Is it worth keeping the company open and waiting for this refund for the sake of £612?
Or would you just write it off, submit a DS01 and close the company so that you can forget about everything?Tags: None
