Stock Transfer Form J30
Posted: January 17th, 2017, 7:20 pm
I am wondering what our legal position is. We recently sold a limited company, contract signed, at Companies House the new owner showing as a new director, us showing having resigned as directors, and registered address changed too. We suspect some dodgy dealings. Buyer's current and our former landlord is getting fed up due to unpaid rent and owner not being contactable. HMRC has received weird phone calls by someone pretending to be us and is investigating.
We had to send our TM01 forms in ourselves to resign as directors as the new owner did not bother. But that's all reflected in the companies house website now. Problem is these guys haven't send in the J30 stock transfer forms which we prefilled for them and thus haven't paid the stamp duty, and I guess we still technically and legally own the shares?
Are we in a pickle?
