<h2 class="pink-bold">New tax service helps businesses
manage cashflow through downturn </h2>
<p>
If
you're worried about finding the cash to pay your taxes, a new service from HM
Revenue & Customs (HMRC) could bring
welcome relief. The new Business Payment Support Service makes it easier for cash-strapped
businesses to stay on top of their tax payments by spreading them over a period
of time. It's aimed at businesses and self-employed individuals who are facing
temporary financial difficulties and are unable to pay their tax.
