Official Receivers: Destruction of records

To prevent the destruction of records without the Revenue’s knowledge, the OR will send to the office dealing with the debtor’s tax affairs (usually the Service or Processing Office) letter BL30.05 giving three months’ notice of the intention to destroy them.

ORs will not destroy any records until the later of six months from a bankruptcy or winding up order, or the expiry of the three-month destruction notice period.

If you do not wish the records to be destroyed

  • Advise the OR using the tear off slip attached to letter BL30.05

If you wish the records to be retained before letter BL30.05 is received

  • Advise the OR in writing.
