    [QUOTE=max;678661]1. No. Cancel your payments now. If you're not getting cash, why should they?
    [QUOTE]

    Do you cancel your mortgage payments and utility bills when on the bench as well?

    If you cancel your payments to your accountant now, he might (quite rightly IMO) refuse to do your end of year accounts, as that's what you are paying him in advance for....

    1. No. Cancel your payments now. If you're not getting cash, why should they?

    2. How will you go permi, there are no jobs?

    3. The procedure is covered in your welcome pack you should have received when you started your company. Did you read it?

Which means you will have sold your business to someone or folded the business.

    Regarding whether you should wait to become a permie.... only you and AndyW can answer that.
    No, no, no.

    The OP may or may not be a shareholder in the business. They may or may not be a director of the company. There isn't enough detail in the thread to know either for sure, but I would guess that they are a director and shareholder.

    You can resign your position and still be a shareholder in the company. You only cease to be a shareholder when you sell your shares or close the company. You can resign though, and still have shares in the company.

    Why would you need to resign as a director? You either leave the company dormant, in which case you'll still be a director, or you shut it down, then nobody's a director.

    As for your second question, you should ask Andyw.

    Only if you are still paying him, of course

    1. Check your contract and speak to your accountant.
    2. No. You can submit your year accounts and Corp. Tax and put your company in dormant. You may have to pay an accountant a fee to do your returns on a yearly basis, therefore it may not be efficient to keep your company open beyond its current year end.
    3. For the best answer, speak to your accountant.
