Winding-up of companies issue raised in Tynwald
Lib Van MHK Peter Karran says questions about companies wound up because they owe tax to the government weren’t written by his party’s secretary.
Jamie Irving was a director of Street Heritage, one of only three companies wound up because of debts to the government in the past five years.
He and his father Jonathan unsuccessfully sued senior civil servants over the case, including the assessor of income tax, attorney general and chief secretary.
This week in Tynwald, six of Mr Karran’s seven questions dealt with the issue – linking it to the Sefton Group’s bailout in 2013.
But Mr Karran says the two are unrelated:
Working hard 'no longer enough to afford to buy a home'
Treasury writes off £340,000 in benefits overpayments in three years
Manxman to return to service following repairs
Discussions ongoing over meningitis B vaccine rollout
