UK company directors can be banned (‘disqualified’) from being a company director if they don’t meet your legal responsibilities.
‘Unfit conduct’ includes:
- allowing a company to continue trading when it can’t pay its debts
- not keeping proper company accounting records
- not sending accounts and returns to Companies House
- not paying tax owed by the company

This is usually handled by the Insolvency Service, but:
Apart from The Insolvency Service, other bodies can apply to have you disqualified under certain circumstances, eg:

Directors can be disqualified for up to 15 years.
