Hi,

My company has not traded last year and tax returns are due. They do not have to be audited. I cant afford accountant. How can I do the returns myself declaring that no trading took place in 2012 or trading in 2013. Basically nil return.


I had an accountant doing returns. But cant afford it now. I was informed .If accounts are late, the accounts have to be audited. I would hope to avoid this by returning the accounts as nil myself. But do not know where to start.

Also. Could someone advice. What is the procedure / outcome. If the 2 directors resigned from the company. Leaving a company with no directors.

Thanks in advance
 
If I read your last statement it seems like your company has come to the end of the road. If that is the case then there is a proper way dissolve or windup the company. With Limited liability there also comes responsibilities. You don't say if there are any liabilities or assets in the company or if it has any future for that matter.
Answering these questions will help you decide. What you need first is some better understanding of the processes, you could start here http://www.citizensinformation.ie/e...closing_or_selling_a_business_in_ireland.html
 
There is also a service available through the Citizens Information offices called CAVA which is basically volunteer accountants who will help you if you cannot afford to pay for the service. Contact Cit Info for making appointment details.
 
wbbs thanks for the reply/info.


in the mean time I just want to return accounts as nil. if anyone can advice.
 
There are 2 sets of returns.

1. Revenue Returns. If the company has ceased trading the you should cancel the Tax numbers and this will deal with those returns.
2. Company Registration Returns.
First of all does the last balance sheet show zero assets and zero liabilities if so then you should get a copy of the abridged accounts from CRO.ie and type them up roll the years forward and file the accounts. If you are not going to use the company and it has no creditors then you should have it struck from the register. It will only cause you hardship.
If the company has assets and liabilities you have to include them in the accounts.
 
Thank you so much joe90. You are very helpful. Ill call the revenue and cancel the tax numbers.

can i request from the cro a copy of the abridged accounts over the phone/or is there a fee to pay.

i will deal with the company been stuck off the register. I just want to get this out of the way and then have the time to deal with closing the company.
 
great stuff joe90. your a dinger. This is a great site. Im delighted I found this site on line. excellent advice and info.


Got that online joe 90. thanks again. brilliant stuff
 
If you don't have a copy of the last submitted accounts (you should have) from the accountants, do a search for the company here

Then select your listed company and on the next page "view the list of submissions" from there you can click and purchase anything that has been returned to CRO.
