Time to pay – if you can’t pay your tax bill on time

All businesses and self-employed people in financial distress with outstanding tax liabilities may be eligible to receive tax support through HMRC’s Time To Pay service. This is agreed on a case-by-case basis, tailored to individual circumstances.

Who is it for?

Any business or self-employed person that pays tax to the UK Government and has outstanding tax liabilities. If you’ve missed, or are worried about missing, your next tax payment due to coronavirus, contact HMRC. You can also call the HMRC helpline for advice on 0800 0159 559.

There is support for businesses that are VAT registered by temporarily deferring Value Added Tax (VAT) payments for three months (from 20 March to 30 June 2020). This is to help businesses manage their cash flow.

On 27 April, Government updated its information on temporary changes to VAT payments due between 20 March and 30 June.
