HMRC have updated their guidance on APNs “to align with new legislation”.
The guidance lists “ten things about accelerated payment notices”, as follows:
- You must pay within 90 days
- Failing to pay
- Problems paying
- You may not get all your accelerated payment notice at once
- You can receive more than one accelerated payment notice
- Paying the accelerated payment notice is not settling your tax affairs
- Appeal rights
- You can object to an accelerated payment notice under specific circumstances
- The amount due on an accelerated payment notice may be different to a settlement opportunity calculation
- You can still settle your affairs after you’ve received an accelerated payment notice
More guidance is then given on each of the above topics.
