I’m also so fascinated by this but I know of 3 people in recent years who had company strike offs, didn’t pay the corporation tax or VAT that was owed because they simply didn’t file their accounts and all were able to open new companies almost immediately. How in the hell does that work? I owe corporation tax as a hangover from Covid but because I’ve filed everything properly they’re coming after me.No you’re along the right lines the last strike off basically said there’s outstanding business with the company.
Idk maybe it’s true, maybe even if you owe them tens of thousands (which it will be, per year, easily) and just ignore it this is what happens. Which is just mental - she semi regularly tweets about honours and running as an MP? Like what, whilst you owe the state £££? Okay hun!
It seems to me that if you don’t file, then they don’t know what you owe and then your company gets dissolved and all is well you can start afresh! Madness
