Can we still apply for VAT refund if our company has been struck off (closing down)?

Can we still apply for VAT refund if our company has been struck off (closing down)? What should we do to comply with the relevant rules if we could? Is there any detailed guidance? Thanks.

Hi

Andrew2024, When a limited company is dissolved, its assets pass to the Crown under Section 654 of the Companies Act 1985 as ‘Bona Vacantia’ (meaning ownerless property). For further information on how to apply for a reclaim of these monies please refer to the Bona Vacantia web site Latest from Bona Vacantia . Thank you .
