EastEnders star Adam Woodyatt has landed a big-money victory in his battle with the taxman, after closing down his management company.

The actor, 57, previously launched the firm XL Management with his ex-wife Beverley Sharp back in 2012, but documents filed this week show the company has received a £33,000 windfall.

HMRC previously said that Adam owed £139,000 in Corporation Tax, but the figure was contested by his accountants.

A report filed on the liquidation to Companies House showed that he paid £99,518 in tax.

A statement in the report added: '16 February 2026, HMRC confirmed that their claim has been offset and a repayment of £30,403.38 plus interest is to be repaid.

'HMRC also confirmed that following the repayment they have no further claim and the case can be closed.'

According to documents obtained by The Sun, the company had more than £500,000 in cash when liquidators were brought in, and Adam and his ex will share a balance of £413,366.

The couple split in 2019, and their divorce was finalised in 2022 after 22 years of marriage.

Adam was previously managed by his ex-wife Beverly, and she helped negotiate his big-money EastEnders deals and pantomime gigs.

However, following their split, Adam decided to shut down XL Management, which offered a 'personal management service' and the one-page website gave an email address for actor submissions.

Adam remained the company's sole client, and he's now being represented by a different firm.

The star finalised his divorce from Beverly three years ago after he had allegedly been embroiled in negotiations with his spouse of 22 years, after they announced their split.

Ex-dancer Beverley is said to be 'delighted' with her settlement after reports claimed the breakup became 'toxic' when he wouldn't give her a fair deal.

At the time, a source close to Bev has told The Sun: 'Bev and Adam are now officially divorced. 

'As well as being his wife, Bev was also his manager for about a dozen years and she did so much for his career.

'She rejected some of the settlement offers she was sent during the process and now she's glad she held her ground — she is delighted with the settlement.

'She still has no idea why he left her but that's all in the past. She's very upbeat and sees it as a new chapter. I've no doubt Bev will find someone new soon. She's in a good place.'

Beverley was reportedly 'furious' at Adam for signing a 'six-figure deal' to star on I'm A Celebrity in 2021, while she 'struggled for money'.

He had allegedly signed on the dotted line to receive £250,000 for his appearance on the ITV reality show.

And Bev was said to not be impressed with the deal according to The Sun which claimed she had been struggling to make ends meet, while images obtained by the publication show the mum-of-two buying reduced food.

However, Adam was said to be paying Bev 'interim maintenance payments' to support her while their divorce was being finalised. 

They share children Jessica, 33, and Samuel, 28.
