25% of debts?

£30m would, according to the figures on the official administrators report of the vote, represent only 22% of the total eligible to vote - somewhere in the region of £137m.

 

Which raises more interesting questions about the debt "bottoming out at £78m", and even the £124m including secured creditors from the original creditors report... :suspicious:

Well surely the "precise figures" is a huge factor in this court case then? Don't understand how HMRC can dismiss it like that.

They're probably going to go after football debt being treated as unsecured debt to get themselves over the 75% mark.

If it gets down to a few fractions of a percent how much of the total owed is overdue image right's payments to players such as Sol Campbell as surely they should all go down to 60% of their current level on the grounds that 40% should be going in tax? i.e. rather than the club owing someone £1M in image right payments if HMRC win the point it would then be 600K owed to player and 400K to hmrc?

Reading that, this £30m owed, seems to be what they think they have cheated HMRC out of via the image rights con since 2006, so is this in ADDITION to what they are already owed?

 

I don't think so as this refers to 2006 to date so only 4 years which, if all the 30M was image rights tax mean that the total image rights bill in that time would have been £75M.

AA is there!!.. From Dan Roan twitter

 

"Afternoon session starts. Andronikou arrives at High Court - Gregory Mitchell QC says he'll finish argument for HMRC by 1530."

 

So AA's in the house. Looks like he was holidaying in London all along :D

''Chris:

Mr Mitchell went on to criticise another 'sham' he alleged Pompey used to avoid paying tax.

This concerned money paid into players' employment benefit trusts in what he described as 'tax havens'.

He said: 'The Revenue says these are disguised payments of salaries on which PAYE should have been paid.' ''
