Tax Free?

What exactly did it mean when we stopped paying tax? nobody came after us for any? they did ask us to submit a debt management plan and said we didnt have much to live on, could this by why?

We are now discharged, and the tax free period finished in April, but its niggling at the back of my mind.

How much tax did you pay each month? If under £50 p/m a NT tax code can still be applied by HMRC (they get listings from the courts) but OR considers it not worth collecting for that amount.

Thew OR will ask your tax office to apply a nil rate tax code .Ineffect what the OR is doing is diverting the tax you would pay in the current tax year towardds the ORs costs and the O/S debts.Although you will have paid no tax the amount you would have paid will be requested by the OR usually via a 3rd party company.So don't think you have all your net income to spend you will be required to pay up at some point.Would suggest you contact your OR for clarification
