How can I close this account as this business has ceased trading How do I set up a new account with the same email address

I can help you close your account and create a new one using the same email address, Garry.

Once canceled, you'll have read-only access to your data for up to a year. Before proceeding, I recommend exporting reports, lists, and other data from QuickBooks Online. This way, you can keep a copy of them for future use. Afterward, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Subscriptions and billing.
2. Click Cancel subscription or Cancel online in the QuickBooks section.
3. Follow the onscreen steps.

Kindly read about canceling your QuickBooks Online subscription to learn other methods depending on where you purchased it.

Furthermore, you can Sign in to set up an Intuit account with the same credentials. Make sure to choose your country first, then proceed to the instructions below:

1. Go to this link to pick your region.
2. Determine which plan you'd like to operate your business.
3. On the Create an Intuit Account page, tap the Sign In.
4. Input your info, then Sign In.
5. Follow the onscreen steps.

It also works if you manage multiple companies on the same login. Switching between those organizations will be easy.
