Government seeks to secure debts against homes - AOL Money UK

Seems fair enough.

The government takes my tax at source.

There was a recent thread about setting aside funds to pay the annual bill.

It's not that complicated.

bit of a misleading thread title. Did you read the whole article? seems fair enough to me

It doesn't, if the HMRC want to recover the money they need to go back to court to get an order of sale.

I'd be highly surprised if any judge awarded one against a decent hardworking self employed person for a few grand in tax .... It's the big evaders they're after....

Of course, there are then plenty of those who it's about time were taken in hand..... Jimmy Carr....?

They will take your house, for default of payment, and for far less than you think. And if you think it's easy to just pay them and get it back, it isn't, it takes a long time and a lot of legal expenses to take on HMRCE. Don't take the risk.
