Director liability: in winding up, directors are jointly liable for unpaid sales tax unless they prove no gross neglect. When a private company is wound up and tax assessed under the Act cannot be recovered, every person who was a director during the period for which the tax is due becomes jointly and severally liable for payment of that tax unless he proves that the non-recovery cannot be attributed to any gross neglect, misfeasance or breach of duty on his part.
