Changing means of income

[bobbybobson]

I'm employed through my own limited company which is termed as offering design services. If I want to change my means of income to something completely different, such as mechanic or courier, can I just notify HMRC (how?) or do I need to close this limited company and start a new one?

Thanks

Not unless it's a pre 1986 company. Companies were restricted by the articles before then, but now can do almost anything.

So what do I need to do?

[pawncob]

Just enter the new trade on the CT return.

[bobbybobson]

OK I will do that, but do I also need to notify HMRC immediately?

[pawncob]

Unnecessary.
