Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many (a) Football League and (b) non-league football clubs have received winding up petitions from HMRC in the last five years; and what assessment she has made of the financial sustainability of those clubs.
HMRC take a supportive approach to dealing with customers who have tax debts and only file winding-up petitions after exhausting all other options, in order to protect taxpayers’ money.
Details of how assessments of financial sustainability of customers are used to assess Time to Pay offers and consequences of non-payment can be found at GOV.UK
