Common questions
Are funds paid direct to HMRC?
Most specialist tax funders pay HMRC directly against a Time to Pay reference or the borrower's HMRC account.
Can these leads be refinance of HMRC TTP?
Yes. Time to Pay refinance enquiries are tagged so you can route them to lenders with that appetite.
Is there any FCA regulation?
Tax loans to Ltd companies are unregulated. Sole trader agreements under £25k can fall into FCA scope.
