Tax Disputes & Investigations

Tax Debt – Negotiating Time to Pay

In difficult economic times, many businesses face the problem of being unable to meet their tax obligations on time. They need help to resolve the problem with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

In 2008, HMRC set up a Business Payment Support Team to help businesses solve short-term problems with paying any taxes/duties they owed. Since then, however, this help has gradually been withdrawn and figures published for the last three months of 2010 suggested that the number of businesses who had been refused time to pay had doubled.

With ever increasing pressures on Government revenues, this is a trend that is likely to continue. Those businesses who previously agreed time-to-pay arrangements or those seeking to renegotiate existing arrangements are much more likely to be refused help and threatened with legal action. This could include distraint (the removal and sale of goods), County Court Judgements (which can seriously affect a business' credit rating and/or its relationship with existing lenders) and, ultimately, Winding Up proceedings.

Where large sums are involved (typically over £100,000), HMRC will often insist on a full financial report and a business plan as part of any time to pay negotiations. The preparation and presentation of your proposal is of paramount importance and specialist advice is invaluable.
