A construction director from Arbroath, Scotland, has been\u00a0banned for 7 years after failing to explain more than \u00a3700,000 worth of expenditure<\/h2>\n

The court heard that Angel Tas Limited was incorporated in October 2017 and Cristina Angelica Tasca (27) was appointed the director. The company provided construction services<\/a> for domestic buildings, specialising in plastering and rendering.<\/p>\n

Angel Tas began to miss obligatory tax payments<\/a> in 2019, and after failing to respond to repeated requests for payment the tax authorities petitioned the courts to wind up Angel Tas.<\/p>\n

Despite the liquidator\u2019s numerous requests, Tasca failed to provide any company accounts or records. This meant the liquidator was unable to establish the purpose of more than \u00a3716,000 worth of expenditure, including cash withdrawals of \u00a316,000 from the company\u2019s bank.<\/p>\n

The liquidators were also unable to confirm whether the receipts of nearly \u00a3700,000 were a true representation of all the company\u2019s sales.<\/p>\n

Following an investigation by the Insolvency Service<\/h3>\n

The case was heard in Forfar Sheriff Court on 7 July 2021 before Sheriff J Martin-Brown, where Tasca was disqualified for 7 years.<\/p>\n

The disqualification prevents Tasca from directly or indirectly becoming involved in the promotion, formation or management of a company without the permission of the court.<\/p>\n

Rob Clarke, chief investigator of the Insolvency Service<\/a>, said: \u201cAll directors have a duty to ensure their companies maintain proper accounting records. This includes delivering them to the office-holder in the event of an insolvency.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor failing to account for all of Angel Tas\u2019 transactions, it is impossible to determine whether Cristina Tasca has performed her duties properly or is using a lack of documentation as a cloak for impropriety.\u201d<\/p>\n
