Keyte: In The Taxman's Hands Now


Speaking to BBC Hereford and Worcester, Bulls chairman David Keyte said the Bulls' fate was in the hands of the taxman.

With the Bulls owing around £120,000 to HMRC, the matter had been passed to their solicitors with no timescale placed on how fast proceedings would take place. They had demanded full payment of the two months' outstanding PAYE amounts, and the balance of the VAT bill despite having paid four £2,000 payments on agreement, refusing to accept a part payment.

Keyte confirmed payment of the non-playing staff on Friday, with the players due to receive payment on Wednesday. He added that the taxman's action could put up to 80 jobs at risk.

He also confirmed reports that the FA had delayed payment of the £12,500 prize money from the win at FC United last week as there was still one tie outstanding from the Fourth Qualifying Round - and it was their policy to only pay out when all the matches had been played.
