Dissolving my Ltd company - Capital Gains Tax (CGT)

in Cutting tax
I have a company which is formally open but has not traded for a few years. There is a small-ish sum of money in the account (less than £50k) and I'm trying to understand the CGT implications if I dissolve the company.
I am currently a non tax-payer as my only income is Carers Allowance (CA) (£75p/w) but thinking of initiating my private pension soon.
Is income relevant or would I pay CGT on the entire amount?
If I initiate a small pension (a lump sum plus £6k p/a) would this impact CGT payable?

As its not traded for years, you might be to late to do an MVL then claim BADR , business asset disposal relief but worth checking out. If you qualify then that would be 10% cgt on the lump sum.
As your income is low, why not continue to take the money out in dividends until it runs out?0
