Due to illness I'm having to give up contracting and I'm wrapping up the Ltd co. There will be about £18k left in the bank after all taxes are paid. I know there used to be ESC16 which allowed the cash to be distributed as a capital gain, but I'm unsure what the current situation is. Due to income tax rate issues, the preference is to pull the cash out of the business when it closes as capital rather than income, is this still possible like it used to be with ESC16? Thanks.

Closing Ltd Co, distribution of capital?
Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

Provided you have less than £25k you can close and take it as capital, and your accountant can handle it for you.
More than £25k requires a formal liquidation, which isn't usually cost/tax efficient until you get past £50k. -
