We have been talking for a few weeks on this page about a tougher stance by Revenue and Customs towards football clubs who do not pay their tax debts (which is at the expense of taxpayers in general).

There is no doubt, as the report suggests, that the campaign is working and may encourage clubs to take a less cavalier attitude towards thier tax debts. Nevertheless, we do not think we have seen the last winding-up petition from HMRC.
