EastEnders actress Jessie Wallace’s firm owed around £40,000 in unpaid tax as the company was ‘fully wound up’, official documents show.
The report, shared by Companies House on Tuesday, follows the aftermath of the actress’ firm Thatcher Promotions Limited being placed in voluntary liquidation in 2015.
According to the agency, Wallace’s company owed a total of £69,614 to the HMRC in unpaid corporation tax and VAT which liquidators have since been trying to regain.
A legal charge was later placed on the EastEnders star’s home to ensure she repaid the money, the Mirror reported.
She returned a total of £60,000, but much of this went to cover legal fees.
Wallace ended up with enough cash to pay back around £27,000 of the £69,614 owed to HMRC, it was said.

The liquidator’s report, published as Thatcher Promotions Limited was ‘fully wound up’, reportedly showed the actress had agreed to return the money at £1,000 per month.
However, she reportedly did not meet these instalments and ‘continued chasing was required.’
‘Therefore, to secure the debt, I instructed solicitors to place a charge upon her property,’ the report said.
Wallace, 49, who plays Kat Slater in BBC soap opera EastEnders, is listed as the director of Thatcher Promotions Limited on Companies House.
The report concluded: ‘There are no other matters outstanding and the affairs of the company have been fully wound up.’

Taking to social media, Wallace wrote: ‘My darling Barbara. So heartbroken to hear you have left us. I love you.’
The actress made her return to the BBC drama at the start of in September after being suspended for reportedly appearing drunk on set during filming.
She was back when the soap finally returned to screens, after filming was halted due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The actress, who has played Kat on and off for nearly two decades, was temporarily written out of storylines after her behaviour was ‘called into question.’
It had been claimed that Wallace was hauled into a crisis meeting with show bosses, who were said to have suspended her for two months.
They reportedly ordered her to ‘sort herself out’ before returning.
