Latest research shows that in the past year HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has almost doubled the amount it pays to private sector debt collectors to chase those who have fallen behind on their taxes.<\/p>\n
The Revenue spent \u00a324 million on these services in 2016, up 92 per cent compared with \u00a312.5 million in 2015.<\/p>\n
Whilst the process may well be a more cost effective way for HMRC to recover outstanding taxes, some are calling it “heavy-handed and aggressive”.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in other research it has been revealed that HMRC has applied to close down 12 per cent more businesses in 2016 than in 2015 due to unpaid tax.<\/p>\n
According to the findings, the rise suggests that businesses continue to face cash flow challenges, especially around major tax deadlines such as due dates for VAT or corporation tax bills.<\/p>\n
