Notifying HMRC of strike-off

How do I inform HMRC of strike-off? Our company merged with another a year ago, has not been trading and we have now applied to strike it off. I understand we need to formally notify HMRC. I tried the phone service but could not work out which number to press. Ideally I would like to talk to someone about what we need to do.

Hi Although you have applied to have your company struck off at Companies House this should not prevent you from filing a Company Tax Return (CT600). If you experience any difficulties filing the CT600 call the CT Helpline on 0300 200 3410 in the first instance. Thank you.

Hi, I have just applied for trike off with companies house. My company has never been trading as was set up originally to explore an idea but turned out not to be feasible. It was set up a month ago. Do I still need to send final statutory accounts and a Company Tax Return to HMRC please? Thank you in advance.

Hi 
In the circumstances you have outlined  it will not be necesary to submit a CT600 tax return including statutory accountsto HMRC.
Thank you.

Hello! I registered a company in January 2024 but unluckily never used it for trade. Because of director foreign address got complications to start online business. Now I am going to strike off company on company house register. I got information to inform you first. How is the process and need to submit any account or tax even company has never traded. Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
 

Thank you for your query. You can notify HMRC that your company is dormant by going to Tell HMRC your company is dormant for Corporation Tax   . Thank you .

Thanks for kind reply. Now I have submitted the Strike off application in Company House and also Informed HMRC via link you sent to me that I am going to close company which never been traded. Do i need to submit any other document like copy of strike off application or something else. Kind regards

Hi, No. HMRC will receive notification of the intended 'strike off'. Provided there are no outstanding taxes or Tax Returns, HMRC will not object to the dissolution of the company. Thank you.
