Court orders company and director who admitted breaking VAT and PAYE rules to pay more than £10k
A Shropshire company and its owner have been ordered to pay more than £10,000 after admitting breaking VAT and PAYE rules.
Walker Diecastings Holdings, of the Alveley Industrial Estate, Alveley, Bridgnorth, and its major shareholder Alan James Walker, of Chelmarsh, near Bridgnorth, appeared at Telford Magistrates Court on December 5.
The company admitted being in contravention of a condition requiring it to give a security for the payment of VAT between March 29 and September 25 this year. It is an offence under Value Added Tax Act 1994.
For that breach the company was fined £1,667, and ordered to pay a £2,000 victims' surcharge and costs of £67.50 to the Crown Prosecution Service.
Magistrates took the guilty plea into account when imposing the fine.
