A SPORTS club has won a nine-year ‘David and Goliath’ battle with the tax man that could have left it financially crippled and facing closure. Westow Cricket Club makes just a few hundred pounds of profit each year from members’ subs and the sale of refreshments at matches, but was landed with a penalty of more than £20,000 for inadvertently issuing an incorrect VAT certificate, despite the fact that it had sought advice from Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) before doing so. However, at a recent tribunal hearing, the case against the club was dropped, much to the relief of the volunteers who run it.

The Star reported in December as a crowdfunding campaign to bring the store to St Helens town centre reached its target of £40,000 thanks to donations from the community, which enabled the project to access additional funds. The former Furniture Boutique on Bridge Street, part of Church Square Shopping Centre, will be transformed into the bookshop. While the latest coronavirus lockdown has meant the initial aim of opening to coincide with World Book Day in early March will not be met, it is hoped the shop can be open to the public later in the spring.
