Introduction

In certain circumstances we can take into account the fact that a customer is making a loss in the current year when deciding whether to grant Time To Pay (TTP) for Income Tax or Corporation Tax due on profits from last year.

Conditions

The conditions that must be met before we can consider if we can take into account current year losses are that the customer:

• must be genuinely unable to pay immediately or enter into a reasonable TTP arrangement
• the tax owed is Corporation Tax or Income Tax on previous years鈥� profits
• the customer is likely to make a loss in the current year.

Where these conditions are met, the case will be passed to a CT Services team who will review the case and will contact the customer to discuss their current trading situation.
