Striking off LTD company - do I need to send the copy of the DS01

[killwater]

Hello
I am in a process of striking off the LTD and on gov.uk website it states that I might need to send a copy of DS01 form to:

members, usually the shareholders
creditors, including all existing and likely creditors such as:
banks
suppliers
former employees if the company owes them money
landlords or tenants (for example, where a bond is refundable)
guarantors
personal injury claimants
HMRC and Department of Work and Pensions (DWP)
employees
managers or trustees of any employee pension fund
any directors who have not signed the form

Source: Strike off, dissolution and restoration - GOV.UK

From this list only likely creditors apply to my company. However there are no outstanding debts, the bank account is closed and my only supplier at the moment is my accountant who is actually submitting the form as I stopped trading some time ago.

Do I have to send this form or is it not necessary?

Any one with expierence/knowledge about this?

Thank you in advance

Sounds like a check list but usual caveats apply...

you know what a creditor is don't you?

If you've closed the bank account down, company accounts and corporation tax return submitted to HMRC, tax all agreed and paid up etc (save for your accountant), then I'd suggest just fill out the DS01, send it to Companies House with a tenner and sit around for about 4 months for the company to be officially struck off. Give your accountant a call and confirm you're good to go.

'Likely' is the problem with interpretation for me. I wanted to check if anyone in here had problems with this issue before.

This is exactly what my accountant said. I stopped trading a couple of months ago - before my company tax year end so I have been told that another set of accounts etc. is not required as there was no income apart of few pounds of interest.

Thank you both for help.

I've just submitted my DS01. Final accounts and CT return were submitted a few months back, and HMRC just paid me the CT refund I was waiting for. Given that HMRC aren't a creditor, I'm assuming there's no need for me to notify them of the DS01?

See. Ask your accountant is always the best advice
