HMRC have long held the power to seize money from your bank accounts to recover tax debts over £1,000. They paused this during covid but last month HMRC announced that they would be resuming collections.
We therefore recommend that, if you have tax debts outstanding, you contact HMRC to organise a Time to Pay option. There are further details of how to contact HMRC here
If you cannot pay your tax bill on time: Setting up a payment plan – GOV.UK
This must be done by the tax payer and not their accountant.
