Methodology and source
This page follows strike-off proposals and objections recorded in The Gazette. It explains how a DS01 strike off can be blocked, most commonly by HMRC where tax is owed, which is why our strike-off objection risk checker exists. See The Gazette (linked above) for current strike-off notices. A blocked strike off does not clear the debt, so an insolvent company usually needs a CVL instead.
