A liquidator’s report known as a statement of affairs outlines the financial situation.
It said Seaside Cottages (Whitby) Limited had assets of £3,600.
There were no preferential creditors – those who are paid first.
But HMRC was a secondary preferential creditor – one who is paid next.
It was owed £40,326.89 in VAT and £26,884.59 in PAYE, giving £67,211.48 in total.
Altogether, this left a deficiency of £63,611.48 in total.
The statement also lists unsecured creditors owed £68,600 in total.
This was made up of £5,000 owed to a non-preferential creditor and £63,600 owed to a director.
This, the report added, gave a deficiency with regard to creditors of £132,211.48.
With the business having issued and called up capital of £100,000, this gave a total deficit of £123,311.48 owed.
