Support for businesses affected by the Carillion liquidation

Recognising that many businesses contracted to Carillion may be concerned about their ability to pay their tax, HMRC has committed to providing practical advice and guidance to those affected through its Business Payment Support Service (BPSS). The BPSS is available to any business struggling to make their tax payments as a result of economic conditions.

The BPSS can:

  • agree instalment arrangements if you’re unable to pay your tax on time following the Carillion collapse;
  • suspend any debt collection proceedings;
  • review penalties for missing statutory deadlines;
  • reduce any payments on account; and
  • agree to defer payments due to short-term cash flow difficulties

The service is open 7 days a week between 8am and 8pm on weekdays, closing at 4pm on Saturday and Sunday. Call 0300 200 3835. For more information on the support available, please see the BPSS webpages on GOV.UK.
