Business Payment Support Services

03/03/2009

According to Government figures, over 60,000 businesses have agreed time to pay tax arrangements with HMRC which total more than one billion pounds.

The Business Payment Support Service, which was introduced last autumn, provides a ‘fast track’ service that offers support to those needing more time to pay their tax bills. Terms can be quickly agreed over the phone.

The Right Honourable Stephen Timms, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, said:

"I'm delighted that HMRC's Business Payment Support Service is proving such a huge success, already providing a cashflow boost worth over a billion pounds to UK businesses.

This service is delivering the kind of tangible support that business needs at this time. I would urge any business anticipating or experiencing difficulties paying their tax to call the helpline and get a quick response tailored to their specific needs."
