You cannot pay the tax office in one go

We prepare the deferral or instalment application with a payment schedule your situation can carry, and file it before the debt goes to enforcement.

Deferral or instalment plan for a tax debt

What is included

  • Working out a payment schedule your income can sustain
  • Drafting and filing the application
  • Tracking the decision and any guarantees required

What is included and what is not promised

A tax debt that is neither paid nor deferred goes into enforcement with an automatic surcharge. Applying in time, with a schedule you can keep, avoids that surcharge and the seizure that follows.

What it includes: working out a payment schedule your income can sustain; drafting and filing the application; tracking the decision and any guarantees required. What it does not include: we cannot guarantee it is granted or how many instalments: the tax agency decides on the amount and your circumstances.

Documents you will need

  • The assessment or self-assessment for the debt.
  • Evidence of income and fixed outgoings.
  • Bank statements for recent months.

Indicative timing

We answer your enquiry within 1 working day and send the written quote within 2 working days.

Once your documents are complete, we prepare the file between 2 and 5 working days.

The tax office usually decides within weeks; while it decides, the debt does not go to enforcement if the application was filed within the voluntary period.

See the pricing page for how we charge this kind of matter.

How it works

Estimated duration: 5 days.

  1. We identify the exact procedure

    We look at which debt it is, whether it is still in the voluntary period and whether its amount requires a guarantee. That decides what can be requested.

  2. Document list and quote

    We ask for the payment letter and a picture of your real income to propose a schedule you can keep. Price agreed before anything is filed.

  3. Filing and receipt

    We file the deferral or instalment request through the tax agency portal with the proposed schedule and the direct debit account.

  4. Tracking and corrections

    We follow the file to the decision and warn you of every due date: one missed instalment cancels the whole plan.

What to have at hand

  • The assessment or self-assessment for the debt
  • Evidence of income and fixed outgoings
  • Bank statements for recent months

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a guarantee?

Below the current statutory threshold no guarantee is required. Above it one is, and we tell you which options fit before filing.

Can I apply once enforcement has started?

Yes, but the surcharge already accrued does not disappear. The sooner you apply, the less you pay.

Does it carry interest?

Yes, a deferral accrues late-payment interest. We calculate it before you decide.
