Taxman cracks down in company wind-ups

Survey by UHY Hacker Young shows taxman insisting on more company wind-ups

The tax-man is cracking down on companies that are behind with payments,
according to UHY Hacker Young.

In a survey of 2,700 petitions to wind up companies, Hacker Young found that
60% were issued by the taxman, up from 42% in 2001.

The move is a result of the loss of preferred creditor status for HM Revenue
& Customs, the firm said.

The Revenue told
the
FT
that there had been no change in policy since the new rules came in.
