While the impact on individuals, households and families was considered, no estimate was made of the number of individuals who would be made reliant on benefits.</p><p><br> HMRC has a well-established approach to helping taxpayers who are struggling to pay their liabilities in full, which takes full account of their financial circumstances. HMRC will agree a sustainable and manageable payment plan to spread the tax liability for anyone who is unable to pay in full. HMRC will not ask people to pay more than 50 per cent of their disposable income per month, unless they have a very high level of disposable income.</p><p> </p><p>These Time to Pay arrangements are flexible and can be amended over time to take account of changes in a taxpayer's circumstances.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Richard Fuller question first answered 26/10/2022 13:07:16 answering member 3912 label Biography information for Richard Fuller
