Hello
I am taking legal action against a builder at the small claims court and I have a question about the builder's tax affairs.
The builder's Ltd Company status is showing as 'Active — Active proposal to strike off' on the Companies House web site.
Companies house info also states that 'Compulsory strike-off action has been suspended against the company' - I suspect by HMRC?
Companies House have accepted my request to prevent the company from being dissolved until mid November 2019 or until my legal action is complete.
The company was formed in Jan 2017 and has never submitted any accounts.Their accounts and confirmation statement are overdue since November 2018.
I have bank statements from the builder from March-April 2018 showing payments from me being paid into his ltd company. During this 4 week period there was also a cash withdrawal of around £3200.
Given that no accounts have been submitted, would HMRC be interested in investigating him if I were to make this information available to them?
I ask because if there is a prospect of HMRC taking interest then I can use this as leverage to try and 'persuade' him to pay up (for his shoddy work which I then had to have corrected).
Will be glad to provide more info if needed.
