I was wondering if due dates for returns etc for HMRC and Companies House will change (to due immediately) if one declares a company as dissolved?
A company was formed in April 2013 and stopped trading in December 2013. Are company/tax returns due at the same time as they would have been had the company continued to trade or are they due in December 2013?
Once Companies House accepts an application to close the company, it will not bother about returns that are not yet due ... but outstanding ones must be submitted before the application is accepted.
If you make an application to wind up a company, you must inform HMRC if any tax is due or will fall due in the future. HMRC can object to a winding up.
