Problems paying your tax?

We know from our helpline that tax, and particularly tax debt, can cause a great deal of anxiety and stress. Even if you feel that you cannot afford to pay your tax, it’s important to know that there are options available to you to make this debt manageable.

If you get a letter or other communication from HMRC requesting payment of tax and you don’t understand it or are simply unable to pay it in full on the date requested, it is vital that you don’t ignore it.  While the demand may be worrying, you should get in touch with HMRC as soon as you can.
