Closing a Limited Company

Hi, I need some help - please.
Around January 2009 I registered a limited company with my wife I also send a form to HMRC to say that the company was active - as we were expecting a contract from another company (that went bust) so we never started trading. Each month I was paying £90 into the business bank account to cover the cost of the server and virtual office service that was going out as direct debit. The company acccounts are due on 31st January and the tax return after that. I want to close the company as it is not needed anymore (I have a full time job). Should I fill the voluntary company removal form from Companies House to close the account? What about HMRC and corporation tax, should I just fill in the Companies House form and send copies to HMRC? As I said the company never sold anything,only paid its costs, has no debts ans is not even 1year old.
Thanks for help.

For the best advice about this issue you should read the Companies House guidance on dissolving companies: http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/about/gbhtml/gp4.shtml
It tells you everything you need to know about what to complete before you dissolve it and under what circumstances you are allowed to do so.

Hi,
The best way to deal with the company closure is by sending in a tax return for the year ending and then wind down the company. It does not take to long but there is alot of paperwork to prepare. I would be happy to provide you my services and do all the work for you for £250, Plus I my be able to recoup some of your money back.
If you are interested or need more information please email me.
Good Luck
