About the Company Closure Process in England
Company dissolution, also known as winding up, is the cessation of company activities and closure of company accounts for any reason. If the assets of your company in the UK are more than its debts, there are some different ways you can choose to close the company. At this point, we can list the methods that can be preferred to close the company as follows.
Informal Notice
Informal notice is one of the most common methods used to close a company in the UK. For those who wish to close their company in this way, the company director must complete the DS01 closure form in order to be removed from Companies House records. After the form stage, HMRC publishes an advertisement in the official newspaper (in London, Edinburgh or Belfast) so that third parties who may object to the closure of the company are aware of the situation. If there are no objections for 3 months after this announcement, Companies House will publish a letter in the same official newspaper confirming the closure of your company.

Form aşamasından sonra HMRC, şirketin kapatılmasına itiraz edebilecek üçüncü tarafların durumdan haberdar olması için resmi gazetede (Londra, Edinburgh veya Belfast’ta) bir ilan yayınlar. Bu ilandan sonra 3 ay boyunca herhangi bir itiraz gelmezse, Companies House aynı resmi gazetede şirketinizin kapatıldığını teyit eden bir mektup yayınlayacaktır.

VAT
If there is a VAT registration for your company in the UK, you need to apply to HMRC by filling out the VAT-7 form. After the application, HMRC will contact you with detailed information about the deregistration of the company. Until the VAT registration of your company is deleted, you can continue to keep VAT accounting for all purchases made.
Capital Gains
After closing your company, you may want to buy some of the company’s equipment for yourself. In this case, it is worth reminding you that you will have to pay Capital Gains Tax when you buy the company’s equipment.
Corporation Tax
When you decide to close your company, you must notify HMRC that your company has ceased trading. This notification will allow HMRC to stop reminding you about Corporation Tax.
