HMRC presented a winding-up petition against Hirextra Limited, a London-registered company providing IT and computer services, on 30 September 2025. The petition carries case number CR-2025-006785 and is listed for hearing at the High Court of Justice (Chancery Division) on 3 June 2026.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to make a winding-up order. Filing a petition does not place the company into liquidation; the court must first make the order at a hearing.

The case will be heard at the Royal Courts of Justice, 7 Rolls Building, Fetter Lane, London, at 10:30 on 3 June 2026, or as soon thereafter as the petition can be heard. Anyone intending to appear, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice to the petitioner or its solicitor by 16:00 on 2 June 2026.
The Commissioners for HM Revenue and Customs, based at 14 Westfield Avenue, Stratford, London, are named as the petitioning creditor. The petitioner's solicitor is the General Counsel and Solicitor to His Majesty's Revenue and Customs at the same Stratford address, with reference 2115036.

Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Hirextra Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Hirextra Limited is not yet in liquidation. The court will consider the petition at the date listed in the notice; until then, the company continues to trade, but its bank may freeze accounts and counterparties may stop extending credit. The court can dismiss the petition, adjourn it, or grant a winding-up order.
Are you owed money by Hirextra Limited?
You are not yet a creditor in a liquidation; the company is still trading. If you support the petition, you may file a notice of support at the court named in the notice. If the petition is granted, you become an unsecured creditor in the resulting compulsory liquidation and the Official Receiver will invite you to submit a proof of debt.
Did you work at Hirextra Limited?
A petition does not by itself terminate your employment. Wages and holiday pay continue to accrue until the company stops paying you or is wound up. Watch the bank position closely; if accounts are frozen, payroll will be the first thing to fail. If the petition is granted, statutory redundancy and notice claims become payable from the Redundancy Payments Service.
Are you a director of Hirextra Limited?
Once a petition is filed, the company's directors have a heightened duty to consider the interests of creditors. Continuing to trade where there is no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation can expose directors to personal liability for wrongful trading under Section 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Specialist insolvency advice should be taken immediately.
