They're soft as tulipe regarding corporation tax - You can run up a debt of £20,000 before they even notice, and then they'll just fire off computer-generated letters for months, and only then pass it on to a debt management company, with which you can agree a nice small weekly sum to pay it off over several months.

I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

All these things are legal. Purposefully spending Corporation tax money on yourself is not, and could even land you in jail.
I don't think it will come to that though. 5 month's warchest should get you through it in my opinion.
Finding work is going to be hard when everyone is struggling not to lay off workers.
- Emergency loans from the government might be the best bet if you qualify.
- Maxing out your credit cards and taking other loans. Cancel CC repayments or set to pay the minimum.
- Make sure you take any allowed mortgage holiday. If needed, stop paying the mortgage regardless
- Stop spending on luxuries, make sure you cancel gym memberships and so on you cannot use
- Consider stop paying council tax and utility bills
Ultimately though there is no such thing as "corporation tax money" there is just money in your company, and CT bills. I would not be surprised if CT bills were deferred or that late payments were not penalised.
If it comes down, really comes down to buying food with company money or not buying food... you'd be an idiot not to. The consequences can be dealt with later, but looking after your family is the top priority.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
