Xentra Sol LTD faces a winding-up petition

The most recent insolvency notice for Xentra Sol LTD is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 02 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is Y Neilson, Officer of Revenue & Customs, HM Revenue & Customs, HMRC Legal Group, Queen Elizabeth House, Edinburgh. The petition was presented by HM Revenue & Customs. The case is before the Glasgow Sheriff Court. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 March 2025, showed total assets of £1.4m and net assets of -£261k. On those figures the company was already balance-sheet insolvent — its liabilities exceeded its assets — at that date, 16 months before its first insolvency notice. 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.

What happens next

At the hearing the court decides whether to make a winding-up order. Until it does, the petition can still be dismissed or withdrawn — if the debt is paid, if it is genuinely disputed on substantial grounds, if the company has a cross-claim larger than the debt, or if the court is persuaded to adjourn while a rescue or refinancing is put in place. If an order is made, the company stops trading, its bank accounts are frozen, control passes to the Official Receiver and a liquidator is appointed to sell the assets and pay creditors in the order fixed by law.
