Since 2023, the IRD has explicitly stipulated that non-dormant companies cannot file a &#8220;0 return.&#8221; Becoming a dormant company requires meeting several conditions, such as no bank account activity and no business activities, and passing a shareholder resolution. Failure to report taxes truthfully may lead to tax audits or penalties. Companies should clearly understand their tax obligations to avoid misreporting.<\/p><p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@graph\": [\n    {\n
