If i owed money to HMRC will this affect BC application?

Post by az80 » Wed Feb 10, 2016 9:21 pm

Hi all.

I need your expertise please.
I used to be self employed and i am now paying the taxes( four figure sum) i owed to HRMC.
I set up instalments with them committing to pay off all debts.

My question is:
Will a be considered "person of not good character" when i apply for British Citizenship?

I will be eligible to apply in 15 days and i am now stressing out, even if tax debts being paid they still could refuse the application.

Thanks guys.

If you are honouring an agreement with HMRC you should be OK.
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
