Protect Your Assets
HMRC Bankruptcy Petition? Act Fast to Protect Your Assets.
If you’ve received a bankruptcy petition from HMRC, time is of the essence. HMRC often takes aggressive steps to recover unpaid tax, VAT, PAYE, or other outstanding liabilities.
Once a petition is issued, it is no longer just a tax issue – it becomes a legal emergency that could cost you your home, business, or other valuable assets.
What is an HMRC bankruptcy Petition?
Once HMRC issues a bankruptcy petition:
- Entries may be registered at the Land Registry, freezing your ability to release equity or re-mortgage.
- You may lose access to credit or financial tools you depend on.
- You risk being declared bankrupt and losing control over your assets.
- You could be disqualified from acting as a company director.
Don’t risk everything – speak to a legal expert now.
Defending HMRC Bankruptcy
At West London Law, we specialise in defending HMRC bankruptcy proceedings.
We have helped numerous clients avoid bankruptcy by intervening early, negotiating directly with HMRC, and exploring all available legal and financial solutions.
Can You Reverse A Bankruptcy?
Unfortunately, many believe that paying off the debt after being made bankrupt will automatically cancel the bankruptcy. This is not the case.
Once bankruptcy is declared:
- You lose control over your assets.
- All creditors must be paid in full.
- The official receiver must be satisfied, and a court application for annulment must be made – a costly and complex process.
The best solution is early action – before bankruptcy is declared.
Options to Settle Debt Before Bankruptcy
We help clients explore all viable options to settle HMRC tax liabilities, including:
- Bridge finance
- Raising finance or equity from property (before restrictions are triggered)
- Corporate restructuring
- Disputing inflated tax assessments
- Negotiating payment terms with HMRC
- Engaging in alternative dispute resolution where appropriate
