Conduct: Raymond Stalker (“Mr Stalker”) failed to ensure that Mechanics Manchester Limited (“MM”) complied with its statutory obligations to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) by failing to register MM for VAT from at least 01 April 2019 to 31 December 2022 and failing to file Corporation Tax returns or accounts for the periods ending 31/7/18 to 31/7/21, in that: • Any business is required to register with HMRC for VAT, if, by the end of any month the turnover for the last 12 months exceeds the current registration threshold, the business has a duty to register within 30 days of the end of the month when the threshold is exceeded. • For the period 01 April 2017 to 31 March 2024 the threshold for registering a company for VAT with HRMC is a turnover of £85,000. • According to analysis of available company records, the company would have reached a turnover of £85,000 in February 2019, therefore the company ought to have registered for VAT from at least April 2019 but failed to do so. • A Bounce Back Loan application made in May 2020 reported turnover for 2019 as £611,042. • Analysis of company bank statements show an estimated turnover for y/e 31/12/2020 as £499,777, y/e 31/12/2021 as £522,380 and for y/e 31/12/2022 as £604,972. • No corporation tax returns or accounts were filed with HMRC for the periods ending 31/7/18 to 31/7/21. • At the date of liquidation HMRC filed a claim in the liquidation for £185,260.21 in relation to PAYE and Corporation Tax.
