THE BOSS of Bolton-based company that supplied construction workers has been banned from running businesses for seven years after failing to declare all his company’s tax liabilities.

RBT Dryliners and Plasters UK Ltd, which was registered at Hollinswood Rd, The Haulgh, was set up in 2015 and supplied sub-contract labour to the construction industry.

Roman Bogdan Piotrowski, aged 45, from Crumpsall, was the sole director from April 2016 but only a year later caused the company to enter into voluntary liquidation.

This triggered an investigation by the Insolvency Service which found irregularities in the company’s tax returns.

Between May 2016 and January 2017, Piotrowski declared just over £423,000 to the tax authorities regarding the company’s Construction Industry Scheme liabilities but failed to declare further liabilities worth close to £220,000.

Piotrowski didn’t pay correct levels of VAT having filed inaccurate returns after failing to account for sales receipts of more than £3.9 million.

Piotrowski admitted causing RBT to file CIS returns that failed to fully declare its liabilities, causing the company to file an inaccurate VAT return, and failing to account for sales receipts of £3,901,503.

He is now banned from acting as a director for seven years.

Jane Knight, Deputy Head of Insolvent Investigations for the Insolvency Service, said: “Roman Piotrowski failed to declare RBT Dryliners and Plasters UK’s true tax liabilities, depriving the Exchequer of money rightfully owed.

“His disqualification will help prevent further loses to the public purse and also serves as a warning to other directors of their responsibilities and that disqualification will be the likely outcome should they fail to carry them out.”
