John Barnes, former Liverpool and England footballer, has been banned for three-and-a-half years due to his company, John Barnes Media Limited, going into liquidation after a winding-up petition by HM Revenue and Customs.
John Barnes has been banned as a director for three-and-a-half years after his company, John Barnes Media Limited, failed to pay almost £200,000 in tax. The company did not pay any corporation tax and VAT from 2018 to 2020, despite having a turnover of £441,798 during that period. Barnes was the sole director of the company, which offered media representation services. The ban prevents him from being involved in the promotion, formation, or management of a company without court permission.
