Tight. £6,400 is yours once tax is set aside, well under the £25,000 floor.

VAT of £26,800 is due in sixteen days and the invoiced book does not cover it.

What you owe HMRC has passed what is in the account. £58,200 against £43,100.

This stops being a collection question at this point.

can I pay the vat late?

You can, and it costs you. HMRC charge interest from the due date and a penalty that grows the longer it runs.

The cheaper route is Time to Pay, which is an arrangement rather than a default. Businesses that call before the due date get better terms than ones that call after.

Monday 14 September

£41,900 in the account against £57,600 of tax. VAT is due Thursday.

I would make the Time to Pay call this week rather than after.

The VAT return has passed its due date. £26,800, unpaid.

Friday 18 September

Still nothing against the VAT. Corporation tax of £18,500 is 38 days out.

Any arrangement should cover both.

That is the same intelligence, on a surface you already have open. The Monday read is the short one; the long one waits on the hub. The alerts were not asked for. The answers are the ones the chat page gave.

Email instead, if you prefer. WhatsApp is where most owners already are, not what Strafi is.
