Methodology and source
This tracker follows strike-off proposals and objections recorded in The Gazette. It shows how often a DS01 strike off is blocked, most commonly by HMRC where tax is owed, which is why our strike-off objection risk checker exists. A blocked strike off does not clear the debt, so an insolvent company usually needs a CVL instead.
