Chef Gordon Ramsay has been hit again with tax troubles with a demand for more than $2 million in unpaid taxes.
U.S. authorities have sent the British chef's firm three outstanding tax bills over the last eight months. The most recent demand, sent last month, was for $484,500.
A spokesperson for Gordon Ramsay Holdings confirms the taxes are not the reality TV star's personal liabilities.
The spokesperson says, "This relates specifically to a restaurant operation in New York which has been restructured. Conversations are in hand with U.S. authorities to settle outstanding corporate liabilities."
That may be true but Ramsay is at risk of having his restaurants and assets seized and he may eventually have to spend his own money to meet the demands.
To make matters worse, tax officers could seize the business if they are not satisfied with repayment plans. Then if sales of assets still don't cover the bills, Ramsay could be liable.
This comes on the heels of Ramsay's Cape Town restaurant shut down last week.
Ramsay has also been repeatedly hit with lawsuits over unpaid bills, feeding rumors that his business empire may be in trouble.
