IVA and HMRC bill

mrsrwallace

Hypothetical question...
I have heard about a few folk getting billed recently for late payment charges from HMRC from previous years ago. There is a thread here started by someone on a DRO who also got a similar bill. My husband and I are in an IVA and he was previously self-employed. We have only a couple of years left of it but saying he gets a bill now for any late charges from HMRC how would that work? Would the bill have to be included in the IVA or could it be repaid in an instalment plan? Probably nothing to worry about but knowing our luck it would be the next hurdle in front of us.

any ideas on this?

I appreciate your post is old but as no replies and having only just read it thought I would respond. We have just completed an IVA (yesterday - lol) however are self employed and have old tax bills included in IVA. We subsequently got penalties for late payment and just sent these to the IP and as those particular tax year bills were included in the IVA the penalties were too. We did get a bill for late payment for the first year that wasnt included in the IVA as I delayed paying as thought it would be included - my fault! I contacted the revenue and explained the situation and they split that penalty and interest over a few months to allow me to clear it. They were actually very helpful and understanding which I didnt expect.

Hi;

Ok, its been even longer but have just come across your posts, which might be similar to my situation. I am wondering if you (or anyone : ) ) could clarify;

HMRC debts will be included in an IVA (if money earnt occured before the IVA began)?

Penalties for late payment of these debts are considered as debt accrued before the IVA began?

My IVA has been completed, so will any penalties still be considered within the IVA, and need to be settled at the same rate as the IVA agreement?

thanks
