Tax funding, or tax loans, is a financing solution that is used by businesses that may struggle with managing tax payments. Tax funding is used to spread the cost of tax payments and ensure that a business makes said tax payments on time.
Tax funding can be used by any business, but is typically used by small businesses and sole traders who may not have the necessary cash reserves to fully cover the tax payment.
A business will have tax deadlines throughout the year, but sometimes the cost of the tax bills can leave businesses without a sufficient amount of cash flow to confidently continue trading. A tax loan lets business spread the tax payment into manageable monthly payments, which limits the impact on cash flow and working capital.
Tax funding can be used for both personal and corporate tax bills. Tax funding can be used to cover:

Tax funding is useful for businesses that want to pay their tax bills on time, but do not want to remove a large amount of money from their cash flow or capital reserves. It lets SMEs manage their cash flow more effectively as they are allowed to spread the tax payment over a period of time.
By managing cash flow effectively, it allows a business to invest money into other areas of the business.
All businesses are required to pay tax, therefore tax funding is available to a number of business types. The most common businesses that apply for tax funding include:

As a sole trader you will have to pay a self assessment tax return. You must send a tax return if in the last tax year (6 April to 5 April) you earned over £1,000 (before tax relief). To pay your tax bill you must register by the 5th October and repay the self assessment bill by the 31st January.
If your business as a sole trader has a turnover above £85,000 you must register for VAT. This means that you will also have to submit VAT returns to HMRC following your registration.
To learn more about self assessments, please check out the government website.
The tax structure of a limited company generally differs from a sole trader, but ultimately limited companies do have to pay tax. Limited Companies must pay corporation tax on their profits, so must register for corporation tax. They must also register for VAT if the business earns over £85,000 in the financial year.
Tax will also have to be paid on personal income that is paid, whether it is a salary or in dividends.
Missing a tax payment deadline should always be avoided, as it can lead to penalties. If HMRC believes that you will not be able to pay your tax payment in full now, but you can pay in the future they may offer you extra time.
However, if HMRC doubts that you will be able to make your tax payments on time, they will ask you to pay your tax bill immediately. If you fail to do so, HMRC will begin the process of ‘enforcement action’ to receive the money from you.
We recently dealt with an Accountancy firm who has suffered immediate cash-flow problems as a result of the recent unprecedented global contagion. Clients who paid monthly direct debit retainers have cancelled and debtors which have been due into the firm have requested payment terms. At a time when clients need Accountancy support more than ever it is important that our client was using his time to support clients and not chasing bills!
