From the administrators' statement
3.1
3.2
Over the years, the Company has had an ongoing dispute with HM Revenue & Customs over the quantum of the amount owed. According to the Director, HMRC initially pertained to be owed in excess of £400,000.00, however, we are advised that since claiming this amount, HMRC have sent correspondence with differing amounts as high as £650,000.00 and as low as £2,300.00. The Director is unsure as to how these figures have been derived and after several meetings with HMRC field agents, the Director remains unclear. The Company maintains that a sum in the region of £93,000.00 is owed. This dispute has led to it being difficult for the management of the Company to appropriately plan for its financial future due to the uncertainty created by this ongoing dispute.
