Tax refund goes to the Crown!

Well you closed the company... if the company was liquidated then the liquidator should receive the money and then... probably you get it if you were shareholders and there were no outstanding debts. IANAL.

Thanks, but no - the company wasn't liquidated.

1. The rebate would be profits for the shareholders. After tax these could have been distributed to shareholders.

1. My spouse and I were the sole shareholders.

What happened to it exactly? It was "closed" but not liquidated?

Yes. So if there still is a company you could set up another bank account.

Were? Who is now?

Then it nmust still exist. Is it still registered at companies house.

Which tax, surely it is a tax rebate?

If a company is struck off the register either by going into liquidation or because it has failed to send things like annual returns and accounts to Companies House, it's assets go to the Crown as bona vacantia.

If there is a fair amount of money involved, there is a procedure for restoring the company to the register to enable you to get the money. Talk to Companies House or your accountant.
