HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) commissioned qualitative research with business customers who had been in debt to HMRC to understand more about their needs and experiences.

This report examines:

  • when and how customers became aware they wouldn’t be able to meet their liabilities
  • the customer needs and actions at this time, and drivers behind their behaviours
  • the customers’ experiences of interactions with HMRC

The findings from this research will help improve HMRC’s debt process service.
