Close Your Irish Company Properly, for One Fixed Fee

Our voluntary strike-off is €199.99 + VAT, all-in, including the newspaper advert. With tax deregistration it's €299.99 + VAT. The only other cost is the CRO's €15 filing fee for Form H15, so the totals are €260.99 and €383.99 including VAT. Outstanding returns or accounts are quoted separately before we start.

After we've checked the company. You order online without paying, we review the CRO filing history and tax position within one working day, and then we email the invoice. If something needs fixing first, you'll get a quote for it at the same time.

Usually 4 to 6 months from order to dissolution. Getting Revenue's letter can take a few weeks, and after the CRO publishes its notice there is a 90-day period for objections before the company is struck off and dissolved.

The CRO will only accept Form H15 if Revenue's letter of no objection is dated within the previous 3 months, and the newspaper advert appeared within the previous 30 days. If either has lapsed, the step has to be repeated. We line them up so that doesn't happen, and the CRO itself advises not placing the advert until everything else is ready.

The company's assets must be €150 or less, and its liabilities must be €150 or less, each on its own. You can't net one off against the other, but issued share capital isn't counted as an asset. More in our guide to the €150 rule.

Anything the company owns when it's dissolved passes to the State. Pay out or transfer the balance, taking tax advice where needed, and close the account before the strike-off completes. If there's more than €150 to distribute, a members' voluntary liquidation may be the better route.

Yes. It still needs its annual returns up to date and a letter of no objection from Revenue, but it's usually straightforward.

They must be filed, and any late filing penalties paid, before the strike-off is filed. Tick the add-on on the order form and we'll quote. Apart from the company's first annual return, each one needs financial statements attached, even if the company never traded. We can prepare dormant accounts.

You can, but it's riskier. A director of a company struck off for not filing annual returns can be disqualified under section 842(h) of the Companies Act 2014 unless they can show the company had no debts. Penalties also keep building, and anything left in the company passes to the State.

It may still qualify. Debts over €150 must be paid, or formally written off by the creditor, before the strike-off is filed. If the company can't pay them, a creditors' voluntary liquidation is usually needed. Contact us and we'll explain the options.

Yes. During the 90-day notice period, anyone can object on Form H16, for example a creditor who is owed money. The company can also cancel its own strike-off on Form H17 during that period. We handle either for €99.99 + VAT.

Yes. A director applies to Revenue through MyEnquiries, places the advert in an approved national daily newspaper, and files Form H15 on the CRO's CORE system. Most people use us so that no step expires and has to be repeated, and so Revenue, the newspaper and the CRO are all dealt with for them.

Yes, it can be restored, but restoring costs far more than closing it properly. See RestoreMyCompany.ie.

For each director, under our TCSP licence AML obligations: proof of identity (passport, national ID or driver's licence) and proof of address dated within the last 3 months. After you order, each director gets a secure link from AML HQ, our identity verification platform, to upload them. Please don't send ID documents by ordinary email.
