Companies House?

Question

How long do you have to wait to get rid of old PCs and documents after a Company has been dissolved by Companies House?

Answer 1

Under Section 388(4) of the UK Companies Act 2006 Cap 46, Accounting records that a company is required by section 386 to keep must be preserved by it—
(a) in the case of a private company, for three years from the date on which they are made;
(b) in the case of a public company, for six years from the date on which they are made.

In the case of a private co. that's been dissolved, you can dispose all of your assets and prepare your final accounts and I can't imagine these a/cs need be kept longer than a "live" co., i.e. 3 yrs tops.

Answer 2

7 years

Answer 3

ooo that's a good question, i guess once the company stops operating you can get rid of all info as the entity no longer exists.
Just a guess, its probably something like 6 years for all i know lol
