I’m far from being at the level of expertise of three cats in a trench coat, but I think that can just mean that HMRC asked for the action to be discontinued in the hope that they can get some money owed before the whole thing vanishes in a puff of salt?His Maj may well yet get the dosh…
referring to my screenshot above, the compulsory strike-off action was initiated by Companies House. HMRC aren't involved here.
legally, you are required to file certain things every year, a PSC statement, and a set of accounts (certain companies don't have to file accounts, but that doesn't apply here, so let's ignore that). These filings need to be made by a deadline.
The accounts were not filed by the deadline. Companies House would have written a series of increasingly strident letters to the entity, saying "file your accounts or else."
Because those letters were not responded to, CH started the dissolution process automatically, "we haven't heard from the company, therefore we're not sure if it's still in business."
They sent a last "we're striking off your company" letter.
That kicked someone up the arse and the accounts were filed.
Companies House goes "oh, right, this company does exist after all, we'll stop the strike-off process. Here's a massive fine, you pillocks."
