Tax Arrears Solutions
In these difficult and challenging times, even the best finance manager will struggle to meet all obligations on specified terms. Average payment terms to trade suppliers will lengthen and the ability to make payments to HM Revenue & Customs for VAT and PAYE/NI on time can also slip.
Our Approach
Tax Arrears Solutions takes a hands-on approach to helping companies facing financial uncertainties. We will take the time to review working capital management by working with management and their advisers and devise solutions to improve cash flow.
Tax Arrears Solutions is a central component in our cash planning service.
We recognise the importance of communicating with all creditors but HM Revenue & Customs, in particular, warrant close attention as they have access to a range of recovery processes including bailiff actions, County Court Judgements and winding-up petitions that can undermine any turnaround initiative. In our opinion an immediate and proactive stance needs to be adopted to prevent a chain of events from escalating to the point where directors lose control.
Our Service
Tax Arrears Solutions has assembled one of the leading national teams who are dedicated to assisting businesses with tax arrears to secure realistic and achievable repayment plans. We have a proven methodology and strong track record in obtaining time to pay arrangements. We also take the time to ensure management's strategy is appropriate and adequate in facing all the challenges ahead, that second opinion can be very valuable.
Our service is recognised by the main clearing banks, asset based lenders and professional advisers who regularly engage our services on behalf of their clients.
