TWO QUESTIONS PLEASE:
1.
My husband and wife clients are retiring and I am having their company struck-off
As directors they have been filing Self-Assessment tax returns for many years
They will not have any other income in their retirement that will require them to file tax returns
Do they have to wait until their company is actually struck-off before De-Registering from Self Assessment (ie is the date of strike-off the date they cease to become directors and therefore do not have this need to file a tax return?)
2.
What is the easiest way to De-Registering from Self Assessment
Not Self Employment - Self Assessment
Can it be done online?
Many thanks

Agent dedicated line
Just call the agent line (assuming that you are the clients' agent) and ask them to go through the list of questions to establish whether they need to be in self-assessment. If you sound professional enough, they might even skip the questions and just say "OK - you obviously know what you are talking about". The clients will get a letter (copy to agent) in about 3 weeks to confirm.
write to them
a) if they had a salary from the company, putting a leaving date on the employment section may generate removal of client,
alternatvively just notify the self assessment office in cardiff in writing, that your clients are no longer subject to self assessment since their income will after tax deductions be below the tax/peronal allowance threshold of 9440 this year and 10k next year.
