Gianni Paladini has moved to reassure Queens Park Rangers fans that the club's future is not under threat.
The Championship side have been served with a winding-up order by Customs and Excise in relation to unpaid VAT.
The figure owed is reportedly in the region of £700,000 to £800,000 and there is a court hearing planned for 4th July.
But QPR chairman Paladini is confident the issue will be resolved and is adamant that the club will not be going under.
"We are in negotiations and I am not just confident, but I'm certain the matter will be sorted out before the case is due to be heard," Paladini told the Sunday Mirror.
"The problem is that some of the money being claimed goes back five or six years, before I was involved with the club.
"But if any supporters are concerned about the club's future they should not be.
"The situation is under control and I do not consider it to be serious." Skysports

QPR: VAT CHANCE OF US GOING;
Queens Park Rangers have been served with a winding up order by Customs and Excise - but chairman Gianni Paladini insisted last night that their future is secure.
The order concerns unpaid VAT and the demand is for between EUR900,000 and EUR1million.
But talks between QPR and the authorities are on-going to find a solution before the matter goes to Bristol County Court on July 4.
Paladini said: "We are in negotiations and I am not just confident, but I'm certain the matter will be sorted out before the case is due to be heard.
"The problem is that some of the money being claimed goes back five or six years, before I was involved with the club.
"But if any supporters are concerned about the club's future they should not be. The situation is under control and I do not consider it to be serious."
Statement from QPR1st "Winding up order"
Winding up order
June 10, 2007
On Friday 8th June, members of the supporters representative group received an email from Nick de Marco. Those who received the email include Tracy Stent and Stephen Dedridge who represent the trust on the supporters representative group.
The email notified the supporters representative group that a winding-up order had been served by HMRS. The email did not provide much specific detail but following further statements from Gianni Paladini to the media we understand that the order relates to unpaid VAT stretching back over several years and reportedly in the region of £700,000 to £800,000.
The club is allegedly in negotiations with the HMRS and is hoping the matter can be resolved before the case is due to be heard on the 4th July. It is hoped that more information will be provided at the AGM
QPR 1st will be submitting questions to the Board about this matter prior to the company agm on Friday.
Also a reminder to all shareholders reading this that they need to remember to send off their proxy/attendance forms/cards to the registrars to reach them by Thursday at the very latest if they intend to attend."
