Repaying tax bills in instalments to HMRC

Repaying tax bills in instalments to HMRC

by admin

The old adage that “prevention is better than cure” has never been truer than in the context of HMRC and tax debts; however what happens when you can’t pay a tax bill in full and on time? Repaying tax bills can be extremely stressful, but it does not have to be.

For many taxpayers and businesses, a dramatic change in circumstances can cause financial difficulties. Problems can occur because of challenges faced by the business, for instance, a drop off in trade combined with a lack of working capital, all of which can cause cash-flow issues which need to be overcome in order for trade to continue.

Since the onset of the recession and more recently BREXIT, we’ve all had to look at our cash flows and balances a lot closer and unfortunately in a lot of instances; money set aside for HMRC and repaying tax bills has had to be used to keep individuals and businesses trading.

This leaves HMRC chasing for late overdue tax bills.

Many of us will have sleepless nights worrying about repaying tax bills in general, leading to concerns over bankruptcy or legal action and even losing our homes and businesses owing to being in debt, especially HMRC.

“Don’t bury your head in the sand”

Escalating debts can have a paralysing effect on some individuals and businesses.

Many clients come to us after “burying their head in the sand” and collection actions has been taken against them. It may be tempting to ignore the issues and hope that it goes away! Of course, life isn’t that simple. Arrears to HMRC can quickly escalate as charges and penalties will be applied, leaving what could have been a manageable tax bill increasing into a much larger one that in turn leads to difficulties in repaying tax bills across multiple heads of tax – making life even more difficult.

If you leave it, a small amount originally owed, once ignored, can become unmanageable.

A Time to Pay Arrangement could help you and your business get back on track.

A Time to Pay Arrangement is a monthly re-payment arrangement with HMRC. Given as a concession, it is there to help individuals and businesses in repaying tax bills at an agreed monthly figure over a set period of time.

In many cases the monthly amount is based on the amount owed to HMRC, re-payment time frames and HMRC’s own criteria – Many individuals and businesses then struggle to meet the level HMRC are requesting – This is where we can help.

If you need to look at alternative ways in repaying tax bills, other than trying to get a loan / funding, a Time to Pay Arrangement could help you schedule more affordable monthly payments over a period of time. This can in turn, help with overall cash flow issues, clear HMRC arrears and afford the business the opportunity to move forward.
