When HMRC Is Chasing Your Company For Tax Debt
If your company is behind on VAT, PAYE or Corporation Tax, it is important to understand your options before HMRC escalates enforcement action.
- HMRC are chasing unpaid VAT
- The company cannot pay HMRC tax arrears
- PAYE debt is continuing to grow
- A Time To Pay arrangement has failed
- HMRC are threatening legal action
- The company is under increasing pressure from HMRC
Whether your business is struggling with VAT arrears, PAYE debt or wider HMRC pressure, the right solution depends on the company’s circumstances.
Some businesses can be rescued through repayment plans, restructuring or company rescue options. Others may be better served through a formal closure process such as a Creditors’ Voluntary Liquidation (CVL).
- What HMRC action means for your company
- Whether company rescue may be possible
- Whether company closure should be considered
- The risks of continuing to trade with HMRC arrears
- When professional insolvency advice may be required
Every situation is different, which is why understanding the facts before taking action is so important.
Common HMRC Problems We Help Directors Understand
Company VAT Arrears
If your company cannot pay VAT, HMRC may begin debt collection activity and enforcement procedures. Understanding your options early can help protect the business and its directors.
PAYE Debt
PAYE arrears can grow quickly when payroll liabilities continue to build. If your company is behind on PAYE payments, it is important to review whether the business remains viable.
Corporation Tax Debt
Unpaid Corporation Tax can lead to increasing pressure from HMRC. Directors often seek guidance when HMRC begin demanding payment or threatening further action.
HMRC Enforcement Action
HMRC may issue warning letters, enforcement notices, statutory demands or winding up petitions where tax debts remain unpaid. Early action usually provides more options than waiting until formal proceedings begin.
