Time-to-pay arrangements (TTP)

HMRC is willing to assist companies that are genuinely struggling to pay their tax liabilities due to cash-flow difficulties.

HMRC will allow the company extra time to pay, subject to the following:

HMRC will usually consider deferral arrangements up to a maximum of one year; however, it will require all future returns and payments to be made on time, and the TTP agreement needs to be strictly adhered to.

Any missed payments normally result in HMRC cancelling the TTP arrangement and commencing winding-up proceedings against the company.

Our expert insolvency practitioners work closely with HMRC, and we are able to put together a proposal, on the company’s behalf, with success achieved in obtaining the agreement of HMRC to a deferral arrangement.
