What now from HMRC after New £9m tax delinquency

1073

Contrary to our earlier understanding, Rangers did not win a ruling from the Court of Session on who was to be appointed administrator, HMRC and Rangers came to agreement on the appointment of Duff and Phelps, who acted for Whyte during his takeover of the club.

The admission by Duff and Phelps that today’s court action by HM Revenue and Customs was in connection to circa £9m unpaid tax accrued since the takeover in May last year will come as a surprise no one in the Celtic Quick News community.  This is why Rangers are now in administration, it’s nothing to do with the big tax case, or indeed, the wee tax case.

Key question is, what will HMRC do now?  They’re not going away/. Rangers continued to sign football players despite being delinquent with taxes, and briefed journalists that they rejected a £9m offer for a player on 31 August 2011.

The fact that the business is in administration due to activity carried out under Craig Whyte’s tenure may also interest the Insolvency Service, who are already investigating Whyte’s takeover of the club following information passed by former chairman, Alastair Johnston.

    “Trading while insolvent”

     

     

    Those are the three words that ramp things up from administration into criminality.

     

     

    Bring it on.

    Allegedly.

  7. I asked a Dundee Utd supporter at my work how he felt about his club now being owed £100,000 by No Dignity FC.

     

     

    “The best 100 grand we’ll ever spend if it means the end of the huns”.

     

     

    And so say all of us……….

    Thank you to our Board who must have been sorely tempted to compete with the spendthrift hun.

     

    They kept their heads when many around were losing theirs and blaming it on the Board.

     

     

    The Board kept us and our traditions and ethos safe.

     

    They deserve our thanks.

     

     

    Onward and upward.

    I think the reality for the poundland team is do they have the money to be able to play the home game against Kilmarnock on Sunday? does it really matter to tha administrator that Kilmarnock would be awarded a 3-0 victory and the poundland mob would lose another 3 points in the grand scheme of things what does it matter to the administrator how many points the orcs are behind Celtic? H.H.

    Trading whilst insolvent means that directors become personally liable for the debts, but it doesn’t in itself amount to a crime.

     

     

    That’s the next step, which is wrongful trading.

    Romantic musings on the history of RFC which will be lost to us…

     

     

    No mention of 80 years of apartheid. Funny, that.

    Yet there are still MPs and mouthpieces saying ” we need to help Rangers get out of this ”

  21. huns fc- love the queen but wont pay her on

    I’m sure I saw on RTC that if a club Is unable to fulfill a fixture then not only does It get a 3-0 loss against them but also a 5 point penalty? Is this true?

  23. we shouldn’t forget the 7M owed to debenture holders. The debenture was to be repaid in 2020 (or some far off year like that) that is, unless the club go into administration…

    I stand corrected. I thought trading while insolvent was a criminal act.

  26. Rankers have just announced a new tv deal. All their games will now be shown on the History Channel. :-)
