I had two companies, GmbH (no merged and disolved) and a dormant UG. Never filed an initial balance sheet for either.

That's interesting. Tax authorities (in NRW) very explicitly asked me for one a few months after I had incorporated.

I'm in Bavaria, and to the best of my recolection I never filed one. But then it was a cash-only incorporation, and honestly I don't remember all the files and formulars I filled and signed. Maybe there are exceptions to this under certain circumstances...
