Inland Revenue debt can and should be included in both Bankruptcy and an IVA.

I would reccomend that you speak with several debt experts about your situtation and work out a solution that best suits your individual circumstances.

If you have debts of this size to the Inland Revenue, I assume that you are self employed. Do you have an accountant who does your books and have they confirmed the debt?

Given that the IR debt stands, you must discuss your situation through with a professional (perhaps get 2-3 views). If the IR is by far the largest creditor, they will have the over-riding vote in an IVA and may be difficult to deal with.

Depending on your situation and home, it will be worth having a good look at the option of bankrutpcy as well

The Inland Revenue (or H M Revenue & Customs as they are now known) have a specialist IVA voting and monitoring department based in Worthing, which people like me deal with all of the time.

They have a very commercial approach to IVA's and are generally supportive so long as the proposal has been thoroughly researched by the IP and presents a viable option. For a debt of that size I would certainly recommend you have a face to face meeting with your IP for specific advice.

HMRC are unlikely to be supportive of an IVA if there is a long history of non-compliance. How old is the debt, and what tax years does it relate to>

Good luck!
