HMRC Debt
HMRC are the largest creditor in most of the cases we deal with. Although HMRC are viewed by many as a particularly ‘aggressive’ creditor, our experience is that they are very open to discussing reasonable offers of repayment if proposals are presented in the right way.
HMRC debts we can help with include;
Self-Assessment Tax
VAT
Corporation Tax
PAYE
Time to Pay Arrangements
If you are struggling to make payments to HMRC, they may offer you a ‘Time to Pay Arrangement”. If you qualify, a Time to Pay arrangement may allow you to repay Self-Assessment Tax, PAYE, VAT or Corporation Tax over a 12-month period.
If you feel a Time to Pay arrangement may work in your case, we can help you prepare a repayment proposal and negotiate with HMRC on your behalf. It is very unlikely that HMRC will agree to a Time to Pay arrangement if;
You have previously failed to stick to the terms of an agreement with them.
You cannot demonstrate that the offer of repayment is sustainable
You have not submitted all your Tax and VAT returns
Alternatives to Time to Pay Arrangements
If HMRC are not willing to offer you a Time to Pay arrangement or, you can’t afford to repay your HMRC debts in full over 12-months, we will discuss other options with you. The most common alternatives to Time to Pay arrangements are Company Voluntary Arrangements and Voluntary Liquidation. You can read more about these options by clicking the links.

Frequently Asked Question
No. Call us straight away on 0800 1804 933, in most cases we can prevent CCJ’s from being enforced by bailiffs if we are instructed early enough.
Yes. If we are instructed early enough, we are usually very successful in stopping bailiffs from removing assets. We have written a useful guide to the powers of bailiffs on this website; please visit our Help Guide section. Whilst the Help Guide is very useful, it is no substitute for specific personal advice. Please call us now and speak with a qualified Adviser.
In most cases, we are able to speak directly with the bailiff; once they understand your circumstances, they may allow us extra time to put a repayment plan together. If the bailiff is not receptive to our requests, we may be able to help you get a Court Order blocking bailiff enforcement action for around one month. This should give us all the time we need to put a formal repayment plan in place.
Before discussing your financial affairs, we believe that you should check the credentials of the individual or organisation you intend speaking with. We are no different:

How We can Help
If you need help dealing with HMRC debts, call us free on 0800 1804 933. We may be able to help even if you have already attempted to negotiate directly with HMRC. In many cases, HMRC are restricted in the type of agreement they can make directly with business owners. However, once presented with a formal proposal, prepared by a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner, they may be more accommodating.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
“The service I received from Anderson Brookes was excellent. I’d already made the decision to cease trading but I didn’t know how to deal with my legal responsibilities as a Director. I went through the process of Creditors Voluntary Liquidation (CVL). Anderson Brookes helped me through every stage”.
“I write to you having recently used your company to arrange an IVA.

I am now beginning to start the process of getting myself on the right track, and this is largely thanks to Khalid’s pragmatism.”.

“Just thought I would let you know that business is going extremely well I have no credit commitments, new car, new van and 2 good holidays a year and I really do owe all of that to you.
