Can we expect to hear anything regarding this or will it all be kept quiet?

If the result is bad I don't expect it will be quiet for long.

Well, if it actually takes place, and isn't 'deferred', then I guess the outcome will in the public domain pretty quickly - whatever the desires of of parties concerned!

Should be done soon hopefully.

Re: Winding up petition : Mon Oct 31, 2016 1:56 pm  

I'm going to have to stop reading the comments part on the T&A website. It just makes my blood boil!!! I mean why the f*ck would a guy risk his business, family home and sanity to "play" Billy Big Boll*cks??? Still the morons will continue to protest they were right all along.

Having seen a few companies go through this, its likely to be a dispute with HMRC over the actual amount of tax to pay. It happens more than you would think and whilst stronger/more financially sound companies can afford to pay now and challenge later, smaller ones cannot. That's what I'm hearing this is... paying the calculated amount would cause more problems than it would solve going to court.

Expect by now we have either accepted a new balance and this will be thrown out, or we still disagree and it will be adjourned until a mediation process can be completed.

Either way, I'm reasonably comfortable (notice this is a difference between 100% sure) that my £242.25 spent on membership last week is secure

UPDATE: Taken from T&A

Bradford Bulls rugby league club bosses say they will pay tens of thousands of pounds owed to the taxman.

Officials at HM Revenue and Customs today asked for the club to be wound up at a hearing in a Bankruptcy & Companies Court in London.

But a judge, Registrar Nicholas Briggs, said he would review the case on November 14 after a lawyer representing the club said money would be paid.

The judge heard there was a disagreement over how much the taxman was owed.

Tax officials say the club owes around £350,000 - club bosses say the debt is around £133,000.


Barrister Rowena Page told the judge that more than £100,000 had already been paid.

Outside court, club chairman Marc Green said debts would be cleared.

"I am grateful to my barrister for her ability," he said.

"It is not a comfortable position to be in."

That's a big bill, it seems unclear when the full amount would need to be found but I assume a fair chunk would need to be paid in the next 14 days?
