HM Revenue and Customs update
http://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/g...%20customs.jpgAccrington Stanley have today reached an agreement with HM Revenue and Customs that will see the winding up petition due to be heard at the High Court tomorrow adjourned.

The club have put forward proposals to clear the debt over the next twelve months, and hmrc are satisfied that the club are serious about clearing the debt and will continue to work with the club to that end.

Speaking about the deal chief executive Robert Heys said "We knew hmrc were only ever going to adjourn the hearing rather than remove the petition tomorrow, in order to give some time that will show that we can meet the initial payments going forward. We will do this over the coming weeks and months and look forward to a formal removal of the petition in the near future."

The club's legal representatives will attend the hearing to apply for the adjournment which hmrc's legal team will not oppose.

I remain confused :confused:

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

According to a report in the paper (can't remember which one now) HMRC and the club agreed monthly payments of the debt. The club didn't honour the payments so HMRC foreclosed.

True but if Saddam was at the helm would you rock the boat? from my standpoint benefit of the doubt springs to mind.:)

If you are in possesion of some facts to prove it then fine, otherwise you might want to add 'in my opinion' to your posts, otherwise you may find your paying the tax bill from the proceeds of a libel case ;):)

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

I might have this wrong :confused: But, didn't Rob Heys say at the Fans Forum that the club had thought that they had an arrangement over 12 months, but in fact had not? May be wrong, but thought that was what was said.

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

i think that what is coming out of all this is further proof (if it were needed) that you cannot hope to hide the truth when hundreds of people are involved. When will they ever learn that we need, at all times, to be as fully informed as possible.

It is hard to believe that after the mismanagement of the 'regime' that put us in this mess we are still prone to the odd mistakes such as not knowing what timescale was put in place.

If there are any skeletons in the closet then NOW is the time to bring them out. If anyone is willing to put themselves in the firing line FOR THE GOOD OF THE CLUB, then now is the time. If we continue with this ridiculous charade we risk losing all the goodwill that is out there. And I don't care who you I will not let that happen to MY club

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

if thats the case it leaves 2 options to me (1) you are daft as a brush, cos comments like you made do nowt to help Stanley survive. or (2) you are telling porkies, in my opinion of course.:rolleyes:

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

I thought all this had been cleared up at the recent fans' forum? The club had a verbal agreement with HMRC that they could repay over a 12 month period at £18,000 per month, plus a few one off bulk payments when they had the cash e.g. when the TV money came through. The club thought that it was a done deal, but at a later date HMRC changed their position and demanded the full amount in one lump sum (or near as damn it).

How does this change that story?

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

thats how i see it, being at the forum, that makes to me a "Poor"/"Wrong" Assumption, nothing else.

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

Thought I had heard that, cheers TM :)

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

It would seem the present regime didn't issue this statement on a voluntary basis.
From the ASFC site:
"HMRC have asked that we release a club statement on this point as they are receiving many requests for a ‘time to pay’ and we are being quoted as an example.

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

But then on the S.O.S. Site ???????????

The national fund raising initiative designed to secure the future of Accrington Stanley Football Club.

Accrington Stanley is sending out an SOS to all football fans! The initial agreement between Stanley and HM Revenue and Custom saw the club set to repay the unsettled tax bill of £308,000 in the next 12 months. However this has now been reduced and confirmed to just 8 weeks.


Now I have no idea ???????????????

Wish somebody could tell us straight :rolleyes:

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

I'm giving up reading this forum. It drives me insane with frustration!!! :D

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

The story seems to change to meet the present requirements of the club on an almost daily basis.

The above statement is true,inso much as that was what was said at the forum....................however todays statement says something different :-

"Club chairman David O'Neill explained "Whilst we continue with the current fund raising activities I would like to point out and clarify that at no time has Accrington Stanley Football Club and HMRC had any formal agreement in place to pay its outstanding arrears over a twelve month period, and that the previous regime had only reached agreement to be given time to implement a structured payment scheme"

Therefore, if there was no agreement in place, how the hell can HMRC 'move the goalposts'?..................Makes no sense to me Im afraid!

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

I think the key word there regarding the agreement is 'Formal'. I have no idea what went on in the club's negotiations with the HMRC, but maybe an individual told the club that it seemed that a 12 month deal was possible, but then the powers-that-be over-ruled that and demanded the repayment all at once?

One thing I do know, though, is that supposedly anonymous people on internet forums shouldn't cast aspersions in the belief that they can't be traced.

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

think its all in the wording uk, a verbal agreement aint a formal agreement as far as i'm aware.

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

Has anyone seen a copy of this verbal agreement?:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

Generally speaking, verbal agreements made by inland revenue officials tend to be spoken in invisible ink :D

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

12 months 12 days 12 weeks whats it matter now anyway we need £308k pretty fast. :eek: They might give us more time if we raise most of it so I think thats all that matters at the moment. Khans said he will match the money the directors put in with no strings so thats always there as well.

I was negative at first but I suppose we have to trust them to get the club out of this mess and if they do shaft the people of Accrington in whatever why I' sure a few of us will track them all down :uzi:;)

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

Does anyone know why the £45k in loans given to the club haven't been transferred to the SOS fund yet?

Does anyone think that getting Steven Gerrard involved in an all-star friendly would help the club raise some money towards the SOS fund? Given that he has a good friendship with Ian Dunbavin I think this could be achievable.

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

Because the SOS fund is for donations, and loans aren't donations. I would guess the loans would be used to make up any shortfall from the SOS fund.

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

Already been suggested and the loan cant be used for the sos fund atm. Welcome to the forum might be worth a read up to be kept upto speed :)

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

I think Gerrard should pitch in with a weeks wages, as a donation for Bavs and Bobby taking the rap for him.

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

What wages is gerrard on these days?

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

I honestly think that having a friendly with Steven Gerrard present in the audience or at least lending his support to it would give Stanley a push towards raising more money. I remember that Gazza did a similar thing for Darlington and over 3000 people turned up so if a similar crowd turned up at the Crown it could raise circa £15k to £20k.

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

Don't hold yer breath, one lad once tried to sell him a £1 fanzine and he told him to F off

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
 

Posted via Mobile Device it's not up to gerrard to help us... Its not up to anyone part from the people that is connected with the club as said before.

Re: New Club Statement Re HMRC
