Reading have returned under an EFL Embargo for failing to pay HMRC as this month's bill remains outstanding.
The Royals have failed to pay tax on time every month this season, with two winding-up petitions already lodged this season by HMRC for failing to pay monies due.
Already under an embargo until 2025 for remaining outstanding for too long, the club risks more punishments from the EFL as they face an independent panel in the coming weeks.
Owner Dai Yongge, who cleared two months' worth of tax a fortnight ago to prevent the club requiring to face a judge in court, is looking to sell the club.
The Chinese businessman faces an independent panel in the coming days for failing to deposit money to cover wages earlier in the season after he paid staff late on three separate occasions last season.
It is unsure what the punishments of this could be for Yongge or the club.
