    Do you mind? If you are going to use my alter ego please at least get the spelling right.

    One guy got rid of 60k CI/NI & VAT in an afternoon.

    Doesn't normally happen though. HMRC are just another creditor.

    I know a contractor who phoenix'd his company and waved away £43k worth of Corp tax owed.

    One day XYZ ltd realises they can't pay the bills because there's not enough in the pot.

    So they appoint an administrator that looks at the books for as long as possible until there is absolutely nothing left then winds the company up...
    It's worse than that, some then sell the companies asset through a close company and buy them themselves at bargain prices

    started a topic Mcoist offering to work for Food

    Mcoist offering to work for Food

    Ally Mcoist has offered the Administrators of Rangers to work and only pay his food bill.

    The administrators have rejected this and said they will continue to pay his 200k a month salary as it is more cost effective.

Working...
