Electric car-charging firm boss admits company broke the law – just a week after receiving £55million from taxpayers THE boss of an electric car- charging firm that last week received £55million from taxpayers has admitted it broke the law by deliberately not filing its accounts.
Mr Pateman-Jones told Times Radio it “was a decision that we took as a board to try and put a set of accounts in without material uncertainty around funding”.
But Dan Neidle at Tax Policy Associates told The Sun: “You can’t delay your accounts because you don’t like what the accounts say.
Chief exec Chris Pateman-Jones astonishingly confessed live on air yesterday that the board had delayed filing to avoid having to include a “material uncertainty” statement.
But the firm has broken the law by failing to file its accounts with Companies House on time.
