A client question:

I am sure you will be busy on sending out information on to-days budget message but I would appreciate guidance on the offer from the chancellor regarding the payment of taxes being flexible from today. I would like to defer some of the VAT outstanding this quarters so I can meet salary cheques at the month end. I believe the chancellor said this came in from today. Can I have some advice please

And our reply:

All we know about this is whats on the web from HMRC

Looks fairly straight forward and light touch, though I suspect you may have to hang on in a queue whilst they answer the phone.

Let me know if there are any problems.
