These VAT returns declared VAT liabilities due to HMRC totalling £36,341. HMRC raised a further assessment of VAT, and an associated assessed surcharge, due for the VAT period ending 07/19 totalling £4,544 and £454 respectively. As at the date of Liquidation Select had made no payments towards its VAT liabilities. • As at the date of Liquidation Select’s liabilities totalled £61,894 of which £59,271 was due for VAT. Comparative Treatment Bank Statements • The Insolvency Service’s analysis of Select’s bank account detail that between 30 July 2017 and 14 November 2019, the date upon which Select entered into Liquidation, Select made payments totalling £553,407.
