Dragon Studios Faces Closure Over Unpaid Tax Bill
Imagine a big movie studio called Dragon Studios.
They owe the tax people money, and haven't paid.
The tax people, like a debt collector, might shut down the studio to get their money back.
Dragon Studios made shows like 'Willow' and 'Havoc.'
The studio is in Wales, and it's the biggest one there.
The studio owes lots of money to different people.
The tax people only take this step after trying other ways to get the money back.
Dragon Studios in Wales faces potential closure due to an unpaid tax bill from HMRC.
HMRC has issued a winding-up petition, a step toward liquidating the company.
The studio has hosted productions like 'Willow' and 'Havoc', and is the largest film complex in Wales.
Dragon Studios owed creditors £2.4M, including £243,737 in tax and social security by the end of 2023.
The studio stated it had yet to receive the petition but has contacted HMRC following inquiries.
