Budget 2026 – Tax update for Companies being removed from the Register

Has your company been struck off, or is it looking to be removed from the Companies Office Register? Be aware that the most recent Budget affects company shareholders, directors and associated persons with outstanding loan balances where a company is removed from the Companies Office Register. If the loan is still owing six months after a company is removed from the Companies Register, the amount owing will become taxable income for the shareholder or director (or associated person).

If you are considering restructuring your business affairs or changing your trading entity, be sure to speak with us about the tax implications.
