Closing down a Limited company - Help please

Closing down a Limited company - Help please

Didn't find your answer?

Hello

I have a first year Limited company that I would like to close down.  The period end is 31.3.16.  Profit for the period was £23,000.  Corporation tax is around £4,500.  There are no other creditors.  The bank balance is £nil and the directors loan account is overdrawn by £24,000.  Please how do I go about closing the company down.  I'm confused with the following;

1)I need to prepare final accounts for HMRC.  What would the balance sheet look like?  Would I just show the above?  Or would i reflect the fact that the corporation tax is going to be paid personally by the director and reduce the directors loan account accordingly?

2) Whatever I do, the director will still owe the company money after striking off.  When I prepare the personal tax return, would I just show any overdrawn directors loan account as a year end dividend and include this as income on the personal tax return?  So at present it will be £24,000 as a dividend? 

3) Is the process to strike off (a) File accounts/corporation tax with HMRC and inform them this is the last set of accounts then (b) File a DS01 form at Companies House afterwards

Your help would be so appreciated, thanks in advance
