Conduct: From 30 January 2018 to 11 February 2019 Jason Anthony Batten (“Mr Batten”) failed to ensure JAB Contractors Ltd (“JAB”) maintained or preserved, or in the alternative has failed to deliver up to the Liquidator, adequate accounting records. As a consequence, it has not been possibly to verify whether the use of company funds of £3,117,850 withdrawn in cash between 30 January 2018 and 11 February 2019 from JAB’s bank account was used for genuine company expenditure and / or in the alternative to confirm that JAB complied with its obligations to HMRC in respect of these funds withdrawn in cash, in that: • Between 30 January 2018 and 11 February 2019 £3,117,850 was withdrawn in cash from JAB’s bank account • His explanation of the use of these funds is that they have been used to pay subcontractors via a third party • JAB did not register with HMRC as a Contractor in respect of the Construction Industry Scheme (“CIS”), and so has not carried out the required CIS checks in respect of subcontractor tax treatment. In addition, JAB failed to make CIS returns to HMRC declaring payments made to subcontractors and has not made payments to HMRC in respect of any CIS deductions • JAB did not register with HMRC in respect of PAYE, and so did not make any PAYE returns or payments to HMRC in respect of any employees • As a result of the lack of records for labour utilised by JAB, it is not possible to establish the nature of the relationship between JAB and the recipients of the cash. • As a result of the lack of records for labour utilised by JAB it is not possible to establish the level of liability to HMRC in respect of those funds • In addition, insufficient evidence has been supplied to establish how much of the funds withdrawn in cash from JAB’s bank account was used to pay for supplies of labour either by way of subcontracting or to employees, and so the use of the cash withdrawn totalling £3,117,850 is unknown • On liquidation £249,873.08 is owed to creditors, of which £245,244 is owed to HMRC in respect of VAT, £550 is owed to trade creditors, £3,329.08 to the company’s bank and £750 to the director.
