A judge said in a hearing today that Mr Stayt and his wife Anne had owed '£191,000-odd' to HM Revenue & Customs, with around '£32,000-odd' still to be paid.
BBC Breakfast star Charlie Stayt and his wife have avoided bankruptcy after agreeing to pay off a tax bill of around £190,000.
Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Sebastian Prentis agreed to the petition being withdrawn at the end of the short hearing which Mr and Mrs Stayt did not attend. The firm, which describes itself as being involved in 'television programming and broadcasting activities', was £6,409 in the red according to accounts filed last December.
Other hosts were targeted by the government department over accusations they had not paid enough tax. Lorraine Kelly was cleared of liability for a £1.2million tax bill after a judge described her as an 'entertaining lady'. Overturning the tax bills, the judge concluded: 'The relationship between Ms Kelly and ITV was a contract for services and not that of employer and employee.'Match of the Day host Lineker was chased by the tax authorities for £4.9million it claimed should have been paid on income received between 2013 and 2018.
HMRC did succeed in their case against Eamonn Holmes, however, after it claimed he owed £250,000 in unpaid levies. Tax experts told MailOnline that HMRC has 'made a point' of 'aggressively pursuing' high-profile presenters in recent years, possibly to 'send a clear message' to others. Eamonn Holmes was forced to sell his beloved house in east Belfast to pay off a huge bill after a £250,000 tax battle with HMRC
