Ten-year ban for director’s £900k tax failures
Clive Urwin, the director of a company supplying call centre and printing services, has been disqualified for 10 years after an Insolvency Service investigation found he had failed to pay almost £900,000 owing to HMRC.
Urwin was a director of Tyburn Realisations Ltd (Tyburn), which was formerly known as Tyburn Marketing Solutions Ltd and traded under the name of Parade Marketing Services.
Tyburn, which was based in Birmingham, went into administration in July 2014 owing £978,494 to creditors including £889,335 in respect of liabilities due to HMRC.
Between March 2011 and April 2013, Urwin caused Tyburn to attempt to evade its responsibilities to HMRC with regards to VAT and PAYE/ NIC. An investigation into Tyburn’s VAT affairs resulted in VAT liabilities totalling £222,086 and PAYE/NIC liabilities totalling £289,958.
