Yes, income tax is a qualifying debt for a DRO.

Debts covered by a DRO

Debts that can go into a DRO are called ’qualifying debts'. During the DRO period creditors can’t ask you for payments - if they do, you don't have to pay them. They include:

• credit cards, overdrafts and loans
• arrears with rent, utility bills, telephone bills, council tax and income tax
• benefits overpayments
• hire purchase or conditional sale agreements
• buy now - pay later agreements
• bills for services like vets or solicitors
• debts you owe to friends and family
• business debts
