Hi b178

This relates to a rather strange way HMRC account for tax payments in insolvencies, and means that for the remainder of the fiscal year in which you are made bankrupt (ie up until 5 April of the current of next year) you are not required to pay any tax or national insurance to HMRC. This does not mean, however, that you can keep the money - it just means that you have to hand it over to the Official Reciever under an Income Payments Agreement.
