Holly Willoughby's media company given further chance to avoid being wound up
Roxy Media, the media production and management firm run by the TV presenter and her husband, Dan Baldwin, was issued with a winding-up order by His Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HMRC) earlier this year, according to court filings.
A hearing at the Insolvency and Companies Court in April heard that the firm owed £377,000 in tax, which had been reduced from an unknown amount.
The case was adjourned for 12 weeks to allow the debt to be paid.
At a hearing on Wednesday, Charlotte Cooke, for HMRC, told the court that the company was seeking to take the case to a tax tribunal, with no details given over whether the debt had been paid partially or in full.
She said: 'I understand the company has submitted an application for a late appeal to be heard.
'Our position is that that is opposed.'
She continued: 'This has gone on long enough.'
Michael Collins, representing the company, confirmed it was taking the case to a tax tribunal, but no details were given in court as to what the challenge concerned.
Mr Collins continued that the company was waiting for a date for the tribunal appeal to be heard.
Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Sally Barber adjourned the case until August 20.
Willoughby set up the company with her husband to specialise in managing media clients.
Records on Companies House indicate that she was appointed as a director of the company in 2014, and Mr Baldwin in 2008.
The presenter is best known for previously fronting ITV daytime show This Morning and Dancing On Ice.

Registrar Computershare among suitors for former fintech star PrimaryBid
The Australian-listed share registrar Computershare is among a pack of suitors circling PrimaryBid, one of the most prominent British fintech businesses to be established during the last decade. Sky News has learnt that Computershare has expressed an interest in acquiring PrimaryBid, which was put up for sale earlier this year. PrimaryBid, which counts London Stock Exchange Group and the SoftBank Vision Fund among its investors, has drawn interest from a large number of parties, including investment banks and market infrastructure providers, according to insiders. The company was founded with a simple vision to help ordinary investors gatecrash the closed City ranks of corporate fundraisings and flotations by aggregating demand from retail shareholders into a single, enlarged order. That mission to democratise access to public markets won support from politicians and market participants. It made significant progress towards this goal during the pandemic, notably securing a slice of a £2bn share sale announced by Compass Group, the FTSE 100 contract caterer. Since then, it has worked on hundreds of deals and helped raise roughly $2bn in equity for listed companies. However, it has been hit by a severe slowdown in equity capital markets activity, prompting it to launch a strategic review and hire US-based market infrastructure specialist Rosenblatt Securities to evaluate its strategic options. PrimaryBid has been facing into the weakest IPO market in years, which it has been attempting to mitigate by striking partnerships with the likes of US fintech group SoFi, as well as European groups. It has now reshaped its UK operations and stepped back from regulated activities, having for several months explored a deal with LSEG, one of its largest shareholders, to license its retail capital-raising technology. For some time, the company was chaired by Sir Donald Brydon, the veteran businessman who also used to chair the stock exchange's parent company. Earlier this year, LSEG wrote down the value of its 7.2% stake in PrimaryBid by 87%, implying that the business now had a valuation of just £56m. Computershare's interest in a deal is said to be exploratory, with many other prospective bidders at a similar stage.

Tax raid not enough to fix debt crisis, OBR chief warns
The chairman of the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has warned that further tax rises will hit growth and fail to tackle the country's growing debt burden. Speaking to the Commons Treasury Select Committee, Richard Hughes said there were 'reasons to be concerned about the level of UK government debt' and suggested taxes alone would not be enough to address the issue. 'Higher and higher levels of taxes are also not good for growth,' he said, suggesting a fresh raid in the autumn could prove self-defeating. 'We have also already raised taxes quite a bit in this country. The tax burden is getting close to an all-time high,' Mr Hughes told the committee. The difference between the interest rate on government debt and economic growth makes it 'harder to stabilise the debt to GDP ratio', the OBR chairman added. 'Increasingly vulnerable' His testimony followed the publication of the OBR's Fiscal Risks and Sustainability Report last week which warned that Britain's economy was 'increasingly vulnerable'. The report from the fiscal watchdog painted a grim picture for the UK's finances and warned that without action, debt as a share of GDP would rocket from almost 100pc today to over 270pc over the next 50 years. Mr Hughes raised concerns that the British economy was particularly vulnerable to future shocks. 'We are a country which is very exposed to shocks [and] has been particularly hard hit by the last three shocks which the world has faced – the financial crisis, Covid and the energy crisis. In each case we took quite a hard hit economically and fiscally from those shocks,' Mr Hughes told the Commons committee. 'There are reasons to be concerned about the level of UK government debt.' The UK's government debt is the fourth-highest amongst advanced European economies and the country faces the third-highest borrowing costs of any advanced economy after New Zealand and Iceland. Concerns about the sustainability of the UK's debt comes after the OBR's Fiscal Risks report warned that the 'scale and array of risks to the UK fiscal outlook remains daunting.' The fiscal watchdog said successive Tory and Labour governments had failed to make any progress on tackling public debt. UK government debt currently stands at around £2.7 trillion, with the Government's interest bill this year expected to be around £100bn. David Miles, a member of the OBR's budget responsibility committee, warned that the decline in full-salary pensions schemes, which were traditionally big buyers of UK government debt, could push up long-term borrowing costs by as much as £20bn. Costly U-turns The warning comes as the country braces for a fresh tax raid in the autumn. It is almost certain that the Chancellor will have to push taxes higher in order to make up a shortfall in the Government's finances and ensure she doesn't break her 'iron-clad' fiscal rules. A series of costly U-turns by the Government on disability benefits and winter fuel payments have left the Chancellor scrambling to find billions of pounds. Economists have warned that the Chancellor is facing a black hole of between £10bn to £20bn in the autumn Budget. No 10 has refused to rule out a wealth tax after Lord Kinnock, the former Labour leader, said the party was 'willing to explore' the idea. He added that the Government could raise an extra £10bn a year by imposing a 2pc tax on assets worth more than £10m.
