HMRC coronovirus helpline launched to help businesses affected by COVID-19

March 16, 2020covid, TaxBy harivasdev

A new HMRC helpline has been launched to help businesses affected by COVID-19.

HMRC have set up a dedicated phone helpline to support businesses and the self-employed who are worried about not being able to pay their taxes, due to the outbreak of coronavirus. The helpline number is 0800 0159 559.

Some 2,000 dedicated staff will be available to support those struggling. If you are unable to pay any outstanding tax bills HMRC have said they could agree to:

An instalment arrangement
Suspending debt collection proceedings
Cancel penalties and interest where you have administrative difficulties contacting or paying HMRC immediately

The helpline will be open 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays). Please call 0800 0159 559.

We moved to Sibbalds 18 months ago, after we had previously spent the last 7 years working with large regional firms. We didn’t feel like we got the service we deserved, or the support we needed to grow the business and minimise our tax liabilities.

David Bowler and his team have helped us in so many ways, from producing quarterly management accounts and pro-active tax planning, through to completion of our P11D forms and annual returns. They are always available at the end of the phone to answer our queries, and best of all they actively look for ways to help us and recommend ideas that can help us improve our profits.

They are professional and reliable, and we think of them as part of our team and would highly recommend them to other business owners who want to improve their business performance – in fact we have done so on a number of occasions!
