Customs and Excise

at PMQs Brown announced that almost 25,000 companies had been helped by allowing them to delay paying the taxes due. How much has this cost the taxpayer because somebody has to pay. How will the government ensure that we get this.

What worries me is that eventually these taxes must be paid. I hope that the banks are not going to have to pick-up the bill for these people evading their obligations. Taxes are only due on profits, or on taxes deducted from employees, I hope that a serious problem is not going to result in contributions deducted at source not being paid over.TAG.
