Process to close LAQC due to separation of partners

Tawehi asks:
(updated on Thursday, November 18th 2010)

Due to our circumstances changing, what do my wife and I need to do to wind-up the LAQC that we currently have? There is one property in the LAQC and the property is currently tenanted. Share in the LAQC is 95%-me and 5%-wife. The LAQC currently has a mortagage which is $180k and The last RV was $185k. We currently receive $265 per week. The property was purchased by the LAQC in April 2007. Depreciation was claimed 2007-2008 and 2008-2009.

Our Experts Answer:

The company can't be wound up while it is still trading. The property will need to be sold or transfered out of the company at market value. A final tax return will need to be filed dealing with depreciation recovery and the distribution of any proceeds from the sale. There is then a formal procedure to follow to do a voluntary solvent liquidation of the company that includes gaining consent from IRD for it to be liquidated.
