Hi,
Would really appreciate it if anyone on here could give me any advice on this;
I set up a limited company which was in operation for 8 months (I was contract working and the company i contracted to did not allow sole traders so i had to set up a limited company) My company consisted of myself only (as director), no employees, no overheads, no premises etc, essentially a company on paper only.
I did have an accountant supposed to be looking after my tax matters but basically he did virtually nothing even though i paid him €160 a month while the company was in operation
When I finished the contract i discontinued using the company and went back to a P.A.Y.E job, and was then told i owed the revenue €3.5k in unpaid tax. This payment was defaulted and passed on to the sheriff who is now demanding the €3.5k from me / the company.
While in the P.AY.E. job I wrote to the sheriff offering to pay an amount each month to clear the debt but got no reply. I am now unemployed and on the dole plus I dont own a house or a car and have virtually no possessions the sheriff could take instead of the money.
So basically theres a few things i need to know:
Thanks for reading all this hope someone could point me in the right direction

So basically theres a few things i need to know:
- Can the sheriff only accept total payment?
- I have no money so will it go to court instead?
- Whats the worst case - could i be jailed for non payment?
