An offshore company is no longer needed. What should I do?

Well here is another Answer…

Each jurisdiction addresses the issue in different ways. The easiest way is to carry out a formal procedure for liquidation of the company and pay the necessary fees. But many tax-free jurisdictions do not apply any restrictions against business owners who do not want to go through a formal registration procedure, wanting to “save” on the State Duty. In this case, when the owner of the company ceases to pay annual fees for the renewal of the company, after a while the company is simply removed from the register of companies. A slightly different situation is in high tax jurisdictions: it’s impossible to quit the company by not paying for extensions and without submitting the financial statements. In most European countries, such behaviour is punishable by administrative owner of the company and, in some cases, the company owner can be criminally punished. Therefore, in such jurisdictions, the procedure for the official liquidation of the company should be carried out without fail.
