County Cars, Tinsley Street, Tipton, DY4 7LH
The most recent insolvency notice for North Birmingham Travel Limited is a Dismissal of winding up petition, published 14 September 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by HM Revenue & Customs. The case is before the High Court of Justice (Chancery Division) (case CR-2026-005464 of 2026). The petition was listed to be heard on 02 September 2026 — a date that has now passed, and the Gazette notice is not updated afterwards. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 March 2025, showed total assets of £4.1m and net assets of £1.9m. Those accounts were filed 16 months before the first insolvency notice, so they describe the company well before the process began. A winding-up petition asks the court to close a company and place it into compulsory liquidation, most often because a debt has gone unpaid. If the court makes a winding-up order, control passes to the Official Receiver or an appointed liquidator, the company's bank accounts are frozen and its assets are sold to repay creditors.
HMRC is the petitioning creditor, so the debt behind the petition is unpaid tax — most often VAT, PAYE or corporation tax — rather than a trade debt. HMRC petitions usually follow a long run of missed payments and ignored demands.
