answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2021 answer text <p>No estimate of the number of individual bankruptcies has been made, although the original impact assessment acknowledges that there are likely to be some.

HMRC are not always the only creditor and some people may be declared bankrupt as a result of a non-HMRC debt, and some individuals may choose to enter insolvency themselves based on their overall financial position.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC only ever consider insolvency as a last resort, and encourage people to contact them to agree the best way to settle their tax debts.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2020 answer text <p>There are no plans to move the Self-Assessment (SA) filing date from 31 January 2021. However, the Government recognises that some taxpayers may have difficulty submitting their SA return due to the impact of COVID-19 on their personal circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC do not charge penalties for failure to submit a return on time where taxpayers have a reasonable excuse. HMRC’s current guidance explains that they will accept the impact of COVID-19 as a reasonable excuse for submitting a return late, provided that taxpayers explain how they were affected and submit the return as soon as they can. More information is available in the HMRC online guidance covering the reasonable excuse provisions.</p><p> </p><p>The Government urges taxpayers to submit returns on time where possible. Where taxpayers or their agents are struggling to get the information they need to submit a return by 31 January, they can complete it using provisional figures and give HMRC the actual figures as soon as they can.</p><p>Taxpayers who are unable to pay all of their SA tax due on 31 January can access HMRC’s enhanced Time to Pay (TTP) arrangements. HMRC have recently enhanced their self-serve, online TTP service.</p><p> </p><p>This now allows liabilities of up to £30,000 – increased from £10,000 - to be paid in up to 12 instalments without having to contact HMRC beforehand.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 02/11/2020 16:44:11 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
