Points deduction poll

Quote: Adeybull "Unmitigated rubbish.

1 - Whitcu*t stood down before 12 November.

2 - There was NO winding-up order. They are granted by the High Court. HMRC issued a petition for winding up, to be heard by the High Court in March. As before, you seem to lack an understanding of how these processes work.

3 - You clearly also have little if any understanding of how a business works, and in particular with how the PAYE system works. Fortunately for our readers, some of us DO - and ought to, having been involved in running businesses for many years. The PAYE on the October payroll falls due 22/11 (if paid by bank transfer). That on the November payroll falls due 22/12. On the December Payroll, 22/1 - all assuming no existing arrears.

4 - HMRC are extremely robust in chasing proferssional sports clubs for overdue PAYE. ANd rightly so, given the track record of insolvencies, and especially so where a club (under whatever owners) has already defaulted often. Be more than a few days late, and they will petition to seek to enforce payment. And rightly so - the taxpayer would expect no less.

5 - The winding-up petition was issued c. 14/1, IIRC? By which time, it is highly conceivable that the PAYE on the October, November and December payrolls will have been outstanding. Two payrolls might account for the outstanding amount. Three definitely would (happy to post the maths if required). When Whitcu*t left c.12/11, NONE of this PAYE would be due for payment, provided earlier payments had all been made.

6 - Whitcu*t MAY have been a tad disingenuous (not for the first time) regarding the PAYE on the Otober payroll

Termination of Ryan Whitcut's directorial appointment is logged at Companies House as being 15/11 2013. He states unequivocally there were no monies owing to HMRC at the time of his departure.. Given that he had already admitted to an oversight on his part which had led to previous move to wind up OK Bulls by HMRC, just how credible is his claim?

OK Bulls entered administration on 31/1/2014 in order to protect Marc Green's debenture.

Are you seriously suggesting a debt of £170k was accrued in just two months i.e the November & December payrolls? If Whitcut's claim of no debts at the time of his departure is to be believed, all monies due at the time of his departure, e.g the October payroll deductions were accounted for. Accounting practices would show payroll deductions for that month as a liability upon payment of wages.

Just what sort of wage bill did OK Bulls have in order to accrue £85k a month in liabilities to HMRC? The off field staff would be on PAYE, but many of the players certainly wouldn't.

I'm afraid you haven't demonstrated anything.
