‘Accelerated Payments’ has come into force as part of the Finance Act 2014.

Accelerated Payments removes the cash-flow advantage that those who deliberately try to bend the tax rules by avoiding tax currently have over the majority of taxpayers who pay their tax up front. This briefing explains why this new requirement is important and how we will apply Accelerated Payments.
