Ban on 2 Punjab-origin restaurateurs in UK
IN SOUP UK’S tax department. The Insolvency Service said on Wednesday that Sukdev Gill, 55, has been disqualified for eight years, while Inderjit Singh, 47, is banned for nine years. Both caused companies they were associated with to conceal VAT worth £4.37 million.
Gill and Singh were directors of five companies based in or around the Glasgow area. The five companies were incorporated between 2010 and 2012 but all ceased to exist by March 2018, with each one entering into a form of insolvency, either through compulsory liquidation or creditors voluntary liquidation.
The insolvency service said that after liquidation, tax officials made enquiries into the companies before establishing that all five had participated in some form of tax misconduct, including under-declaring tax, failing to register for VAT and concealing tax owed.
As the companies ceased to operate, Singh then proceeded to incorporate successor companies, all of which traded as “Cook and Indi World Buffet” to continue the activities of the five companies that had gone through insolvency. However, each of the 14 companies succumbed to the same fate as their predecessors and entered into a form of insolvency.
Again, tax officials looked at the companies’ activities following their liquidation and discovered that Singh allowed the buffet restaurant businesses to conceal millions of unpaid tax.
Similar to the actions of their predecessors, the new companies concealed VAT and underdeclared tax contributions.
