TRURO City have been served with a winding up order by the commissioners for HM Revenue and Customs.
A wind up petition was issued yesterday and will be heard at the Royal Courts of Justice in London on October 31.
The news comes as a major blow for City, who have enjoyed huge success on the field after five promotions in six seasons.
They are currently 11th in Blue Square Bet South after Tuesday night's win at Maidenhead United.
Truro City chairman Kevin eaney was the front-runner to buy Plymouth Argyle out of adminsitration.
The notice, which appeared on the London Gazette website yesterday, read:
Petitions to Wind Up (Companies)
In the High Court of Justice (Chancery Division)
Companies Court No 7519 of 2011

Aye heard it on Radio Devon this morning.
Thought something like that would happen when Heaney had to start laying people off in his building firm about a year ago.He said at the time he would continue to bankroll Truro City though.

"The background to this matter is that TCFC were chasing HMRC and only recently were advised of the amount of debt due," the statement from the club's lawyers said.
"This was as a result of HMRC failing to demand this debt over the last two years.
Blimey, this is a new one. It's not our responsibility to pay tax properly it's HMRC's job to bang on our door making sure we pay it.
Last time there was this general approach to tax paying, William of Normandy sent his lieges all ove the land to compile the Domesday Book in order to make sure that everyone was accounted for and paying accordingly ffs!
