Coronation Street's Bill Roache facing bankruptcy despite earning £250,000 a year
25.01.2024 - 20:25 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Bill Roache is facing bankruptcy despite earning £250,000 a year acting as Ken Barlow on ITV's Coronation Street.
The Mirror reports that Roache, 91, is the highest-paid member of the cast. He has played Ken Barlow in the soap since 1960.
The soap star was hit with a petition filed against him by HMRC. While the tax office said it did not comment on individual cases, it said it only petitions for bankruptcy "as a last resort".
A statement reads: "We take a supportive approach to dealing with customers who have tax debts, and do everything we can to help those who engage with us to get out of debt, such as offering instalment plans. We only petition for bankruptcy as a last resort.”
A spokesperson for Coronation Street said: "We're really sorry to hear of Bill's financial situation. Bill has an ongoing contract with Coronation Street and remains a much-loved member of the cast."
In 2018, our sister title, the Mirror, told how the actor faced a huge bill after investing in a £500million Cayman Islands tax avoidance scheme. He was one of 288 investors who entered the Twofold First Services LLP scheme.
It is understood he put in, on average, £1.75million. Papers seen by The Mirror showed he joined the scheme in March 2012.
It involved claiming tax relief from the artificial losses of a land-owning business. The complex arrangement meant investors could use the paper loss to reduce their income tax.
A tribunal later ruled in favour of HMRC, which successfully argued Twofold was "a tax avoidance arrangement". It was branded "abusive and artificial" by the Treasury.
Explaining why a bankruptcy petition is issued, a HMRC spokesman said yesterday (THURS): “When we file a petition for bankruptcy that is us applying to the court in order
