HMRC time to pay arrangements

Falling behind on payments to HMRC is easy to do, with one of the most common reasons being a bad debt or unexpected expenditure having an immediate effect on business cash flow. In order to compensate for this and continue trading, essential payments such as suppliers, wages, rent and utilities are often prioritised over payments to HMRC. If not repaid quickly this situation can easily spiral out of control and become unmanageable.

What is a Time to Pay Arrangement?

The Time to Pay arrangement is a government initiative implemented in 2008 in an attempt to combat the effects of the recession. It works by allowing struggling businesses to repay their outstanding PAYE/ NI or VAT liabilities in instalments, rather than in one go. Usually Time to Pay arrangements last either 6 or 12 months, although they can last longer if there is a realistic prospect that the debt will be repaid eventually.

What are the advantages of a Time to Pay Arrangement?

The cost of your liabilities will be spread out over a period of time rather than all at once. This will improve cash flow and ensure your business has money to pay rent, wages and suppliers.

Opting for a Time to Pay arrangement will demonstrate a willingness to repay liabilities and help your business remain on good terms with HMRC.

Proactively seeking time to pay will decrease the likelihood of HMRC taking enforcement action against your business.
