Living in fear of the taxman? NLJ columnist Stephen Gold offers reassurance in this week’s Civil way―HMRC has updated its guidance to include the impact of coronavirus as a reasonable excuse for late payment

He also provides updates on winding down where the pandemic is a factor as well as the introduction of a 20-day moratorium and the latest on possession orders.
