Question Is there anywhere we can check to see if HMRC have now been paid?

[Yer Blues]

Don't really have the knowledge on this, had a little look online, but couldn't see anything.

 

[Napster]

if you had the tax login for the club you could check

Simple answer is 'no'.

That is commercially sensitive information that only HMRC and the relevant enitity (SUFC Ltd, I assume in this case) will have access to.

Fair dos. Thought as much but thanks for clarifying.

Even we pay should this coronavirus bite in the UK it might the blow we (and many other clubs) will not be able to survive.

Because we would have to ban our international Calendar ?

No - normally Ron mentions it casually on Talk Radio as if it were a mere trifle (if its not from the club then we have to wait for the Beak to say case dismissed for 1,211th time).. I guess another way is when one the three players appears in a match day squad.

Coronavirus seems very serious. Best solution to me would be to cancel this season, null and void it and start again in August.

I don't think the 600,000 is all for the taxman. Ron never actually said who it is owed to, only that HMRC were the ones who had us embargoed.

My suspicion is that due to HMRC pressuring the EFL, the EFL have asked Ron to prove he has sufficient funds (£600,000) to cover all player wages and tax bills until the end of the season, hence why he says he has to invest 600,000, not that he owes it.

I think he's been asked for proof of funds upfront.

Totally agree.
The potential effect has clearly weighed heavily on many of our players , some like Kiernan even fleeing the country in fear.
Being a coastal town , closer to China than most clubs in England has only added to the unfair disadvantage we’ve faced.

Nice idea but what if the league said with the same squads and manger you have now.

How do you think season tickets sales would go.

In fairness, I’ve been a blues fan since 1990-odd and I’ve had all the sunshine smashed out of me. Our 1952 friend would have every right to be miserable!

If you think £600,000 is going to cover wages AND tax bills to the end of the season, I fear you are sadly mistaken.

Perhaps it’s on top of the funds Ron has/is expected to have over the rest of the season

 

[blue pilot]

the RM lovers are always claiming he's 'pumping millions in' so surely 600k is mere loose change for a man of his means... or maybe all the other pots are empty too... expect to see a JCB on Fossets any day, digging for the war chest!

Edited for accuracy...:-)

 

[WESTY_SUFC]

Why worry. Ron does whatever he wants and there is no action from fans. He must be laughing. He wouldn't get away with this at any other club!

What evil git did this to you? Burn him. With fire.

I do think the underlying sentiment is probably correct in that the £600k probably includes some sort of advance payment maybe for the next quarterly VAT bill or something. HMRC are very much into advance payments these days, particularly if you have a history of paying late..
