Companies and corporate entities can now pay most of their taxes using a single reference number.

Financial difficulties

If the partnership pays any tax after its due date, you will receive a summary of tax status to which a reminder letter is added. If the partnership has temporary financial difficulties and cannot pay the tax by the due date stated in the reminder letter, you can ask for a payment arrangement to be made.
