## Winding up Petition Issued By HMRC Adjourned

Bideford AFC were served with the petition in March over unpaid tax. They [reportedly](https://windinguppetitionsolicitors.co.uk/insolvency-lawyers-london/bideford-afc-face-winding-up-petition-over-unpaid-tax/) disputed the PAYE figure which was demanded after an inspection and the clubs officials were confident that the club would not be wound up at yesterday's hearing.

A chartered accountant has [reportedly](https://web.archive.org/web/20150817215814/http://www.northdevonjournal.co.uk/Bideford-AFC-High-Court-winding-hearing-adjourned/story-26524545-detail/story.html) been working on this issue on the club's behalf and the judge was persuaded to give the accountant more time to find a solution. Had the judge supported the application, a winding-up order would have been issued and the club would have been put into liquidation, with its assets sold to pay off debts.
