## Resource

Ayr’s Motayr Limited has been shut down after HMRC took legal action, with liquidator David Meldrum now investigating the company’s collapse—no employees remained when he stepped in. This isn’t an outlier: Scotland saw 40 compulsory liquidations in May, up sharply from just a few in 2021, though overall insolvencies that month were down 25% from the prior year. HMRC declined to comment on individual cases but confirmed they pursue winding-up petitions only as a last resort to safeguard taxpayer funds. Meldrum will update creditors as his probe continues, while experts note a broader trend: voluntary liquidations have surged since 2020, signaling a shifting economic landscape.
