Katona’s reprieve for hefty tax bill
Published:
FORMER Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona was given a further two-week reprieve at the High Court today in her bankruptcy battle with the taxman.
At a brief hearing in London a bankruptcy registrar adjourned the case until August 21.
In June Katona was given until today to find £157,000 to pay off the remainder of a £417,000 tax bill.
But when the case returned to court today, lawyers representing the reality TV star and HM Revenue & Customs told Mr Registrar Nicholls at the Bankruptcy Court that the parties had agreed there should be another “short adjournment”.
Katona, 27, was not present for the proceedings.
The troubled star, who has been treated at The Priory for depression, was originally given 10 weeks to pay her tax bill.
