Joe Swash - Bankrupt again!
It's being reported highly paid TV presenter Joe Swash has gone bankrupt again owing £50,000 in tax, what is it about these celebs who think tax is for others to pay?
Yeah. We've heard it all before. :rolleyes:
In 2009 Swash owed the British public £120,000 in tax before finally being declared a bankrupt, still owing £20,000.
Maybe the BBC could do a celeb version of 'Saints & Sinners', with Kerry Katonna, Martine McCutcheon and Joe Swash as the sinners.
The ex-EastEnders hunk, 31, has gone bust over an unsettled £50,000 tax bill.
His spokesman said: “He assumed his trustee in bankruptcy was dealing with it. The money is there to be paid. It will be resolved this week.”

Last night his agent Becca Barr insisted it was all a mix-up and Swash would be battling to get the ruling annulled. She said: “Joe has not been around to sort this out.
“The bankruptcy should never have gone through. He’s not in financial difficulty — he’s fine. There was a tax issue which will be resolved imminently. Everyone has to pay tax and Joe knows he is no exception.”

Who'll be next on the list of zeleb bankrupts? Funny how they always manage to live the celeb lifestyle even though they supposedly haven't a pot to pi$$ in too.
Actually my reading of the article and I could be wrong on this but it was relying on his agent is what's lead to it going wrong and further bankruptcy.
When he hadn't paid tax in 2009 Becca Barr spoke on his behalf, he still seems to be with the same management.
When Martine McCutcheon went bankrupt it turned out it wasn't just the tax person who was owed money.
There would have been correspondence way before January, and it has taken 3 months and bankruptcy before the money is offered?
When cocaine soddened mother of the year Kerry Katonna when bankrupt she was represented in court. I assume non tax payer Swash had legal representation on 5 March, if the money was in the bank why didn't his management ensure what was owed there and then?
The public might swallow a kangaroo's testicle, but expecting them to swallow bullsheet is beyond the pale.
Easy solution, companies should withhold the tax upfront out of what they pay them. So like us workers with PAYE who never see that part of our pay in the first place.
Now real bankruptcy - for plebs - that is something that should be shame-ridden and the offenders sent to jail!
Yes, you rang?
:D:D
that's cause he is a complete prat.
You would think with celebs going bankrupt a better system could not be devised so they could go on sort of PAYE i have no choice but to pay my tax at source.:mad:
Ha!
My thoughts exactly, ugh...
I hope he understands the position he is in.
Come to think of it, he is on a number of shows, a tv personality more than anything.
Agreed
Confirmation the bankruptcy hearing wasn't held in secret....
Surely if they had the money it could have been handed over before or on the day of the hearing.
He's done well for himself then :eek:;)
