It was another productive year for the debt advisory team, previously known as Corporate Strategies, as we successfully negotiated 97% of our Time to Pay proposals with HMRC.
As the country emerged from the pandemic - and amidst the rise in the cost of living due to factors such as inflation and supply chain issues - we saw a significant increase in businesses requiring assistance. We rescheduled the payment of more than £28 million of arrears, allowing businesses to continue trading and preserving the livelihoods of the more than 5,000 staff in their employ.
On average, the agreements were spread over 29 months, down from 34 months the previous year. This illustrates a noticeable shift in HMRCes stance with regards to outstanding debts, as the Government looks to recover the £millions of emergency support introduced in the wake of COVID-19. HMRC have stepped up their recovery actions and can be more restrictive in terms of the length of arrangements allowed.
As always, it is key when dealing with HMRC that we speak to them early, so that we have the best possible chance of agreeing an arrangement with an affordable level of repayments without putting the business under any undue pressure.
