Title: Martine McCutcheon declared bankrupt
Post by: Pete on February 13, 2013, 08:09:52 PM

EastEnders and Love Actually star petitions for bankruptcy, with Revenue & Customs listed as actor's largest creditor

How do people as famous as that, with such a good track record for working in films, the theatre and TV manage to spend so much money? And not to put some away for the taxman? It beggars belief.

Maybe a way round things which we don't know about  ;)

reading the press reports the inference is that she had a management team including accountants who she thought were paying her taxes etc on her behalf but clearly they were not.

Is that not part of an accountants job? Ours does - was she really that naive

she's never struck me as the sharpest knife in the box when she's been on TV so if she was told by a posh voice in a suit that they were looking after all her interests yes she probably believed them!!
