Problems for Argyle first surfaced when they were placed under a transfer embargo by the Football League at the end of 2009 because of then-unpaid debts to HMRC.
Subsequent relegation from the Championship last season then cut Argyle's income by around £3 million, and in November details emerged of two winding-up petitions from HMRC over further unpaid tax debts of £760,000.
The club then sold several of their star players in January, including Craig Noone and Bradley Wright-Phillips , in an effort to clear the petition debt.
Tax remains a major problem for the Devon-club with their next bill, estimated at £300,000, due on Tuesday.
