Hi Malcolm

welcome to the forum,

I am not a Tax advisor but as i understand from your question, this is my response

Nat Ins is at a set level for employed people and worked out slightly diffferent for self employed, it is income related, so it will not be reduced.

in relation to the income tax for the financial year that you declare BR you are placed on a no tax reference .. ....... however before you get excited and think that you have the extra tax available to spend a company called moon beaver are appointed to collect the money that would have been allocated to HMRC to give to the official receivers office, so again the answer is NO.

Tax arrears can be included in bankruptcy

good luck on the path ahead

regards Richard

If you go bankrupt in the last couple of months before the end of the tax year, you will not get a nil code for income tax, and will carry on as normal paying tax.

National Insurance, as far as I am aware, is not reduced.

Buckle your seat belt Dorothy, 'cos Kansas is going bye bye.
