Debt warehousing
Overview
Warehousing of tax debt assists businesses who experienced cash-flow and trading difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Under the scheme, you could defer paying some eligible tax liabilities until you were in a position financially to deal with the debt.
Interest rates applied to warehoused debt are as follows:
- 0% during period 1 and period 2
- 3% from the start of period 3 to the repayment date.
For further information on period dates, please see page 3 in this section.
Warehouse queries
If you qualified for warehousing, you will have received a letter confirming:
