Effects of Company Deregistration
The main consequences of deregistration are that the company ceases to exist as a separate legal entity and any undistributed property of the company “vests” in the regulator. That is, after deregistration, they will be the party who deals with any assets of the company. For this reason, all assets of the company should be transferred prior to the deregistration application being lodged.
Who can apply for Company Deregistration
The legislation relating to the deregistration of a company is liberal in that an applicant does not require any specific qualifications. The applicant must be the company, a director of the company, a member of the company or a liquidator of the company.
The practicalities are that an applicant needs to be concerned about a number of statutes such as the Income Tax Assessment Act, Fringe Benefits Tax Assessment Act and the Stamp Duties Act. Therefore, in practice, in many cases the process is handed over to a specialist with the relevant experience.
Any proposed deregistration applicant should make themselves very familiar with the full range of responsibilities and powers in making the application.
