Debt warehousing
Overview
Warehousing of tax debt is aimed at assisting businesses experiencing cash-flow and trading difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With warehousing, you can defer paying some of your eligible tax liabilities until you are in a position financially to deal with the debt.
Interest will be applied to warehoused debt at:
- 0% initially
- 3% from January 2023 to the repayment date.
How to qualify
To qualify for warehousing, your business must have been unable to pay your tax liabilities because of COVID-19 restrictions:
- your turnover was significantly reduced
- or
- the volume of your customer orders was significantly reduced.
Revenue will be entitled to make enquiries to satisfy itself that your business is unable to pay or repay any liabilities.
