Because I was under the impression that HMRC always vote against any deal on principle, so I would assume that, coincidentally, HMRC would find themselves on 24% or less a lot of the time in many administrations.
They do, but then the question would (again) be, what are they owed? The bizarre winding-up proceedings ended at a point where HMRC claimed to be owed 350K but green said it had been 130K and (on one reading) of which 100K had been paid, so claimed we owed fsck all if I read it correctly.
But did not feel able to test the arithmetic in court, so the position remained uncertain, except that HMRC were sure enough of their position to press ahead with the winding-up for their full claim.
So, the question is, what value claims will this administrator admit in the administration? As we know (and as Omar learned) the fact that you are owed £1m does not prevent the administrator from rejecting most of your claim. As the administrator learned when Omar sued him, an incorrect rejection can land you with an adverse judgment and costs. Does anybody know what figure HMRC have had approved in the admin, and what %age it makes up of the total? We must have at least one person who knows a creditor, who should have received the numbers?
