Frequently asked questions

Is HMRC happy with this approach?

Paying HMRC in full and on time via third-party finance is a common and accepted approach, and can help avoid late-payment penalties.

How quickly can funds reach HMRC?

Same-day BACS or Faster Payment in most cases. We can also pay direct to HMRC with the correct reference.

What if I have an existing time-to-pay plan?

We can often refinance a TTP into a single fixed-term loan, which removes interest accrual and clears the arrangement with HMRC.
