Deregistering a Company

Deregistering a Company

Closing a company is more than just ceasing operations — it involves formally deregistering the entity with ASIC and meeting specific legal obligations. At TSK Accountants, we make this process straightforward, secure, and stress-free.

Whether you’re winding down a business, restructuring your affairs, or no longer need a dormant company, we guide you through each step of the deregistration process, ensuring everything is done properly with no loose ends.

Our Company Deregistration Services

At TSK Accountants, we take care of the end-to-end process, ensuring full compliance with ASIC and ATO requirements. Our services include:

Pre-Deregistration Assessment

We review your situation to confirm if voluntary deregistration is the right option, and whether you meet ASIC’s conditions, including:

  • Company has assets under $1,000

  • No outstanding debts or liabilities

  • No ongoing legal proceedings

  • Company has ceased trading

ASIC Lodgement & Documentation

We prepare and submit Form 6010 to ASIC and ensure:

  • All directors consent to deregistration

  • Company obligations have been met

  • Final ASIC fees are accounted for

Tax Clearance & ATO Closure

We assist with:

  • Cancelling the company’s ABN, GST, and PAYG registrations

  • Lodging final tax returns and activity statements

  • Ensuring any final tax liabilities are settled

  • Handling ATO clearance if required
