To avoid a peak workload for the Tax and Customs Administration, the dispatch of these documents is spread out over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Large companies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A different approach applies to the 751 large companies with payment arrears. These companies were already contacted by telephone by the Tax and Customs Administration at the end of 2022. And as letters were sent as early as January 2023 to draw attention to the payment arrears, the payment arrangements for these companies can, where necessary, already be withdrawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Viable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Van Rij gives the following as an example of a category of business owners eligible for the withdrawal of the payment arrangement: entrepreneurs who have both pre-pandemic debt and are in arrears with their pandemic-related debt repayments, as well as being in arrears with their regular tax payments since 1 October 2022. Van Rij expects that this group of entrepreneurs will not be viable.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maar liefst 103.514 ondernemers lopen achter met de betaling van hun coronaschuld. 21.997 ondernemers hebben volledig afgelost. 2.146 ondernemers zijn uit de regeling.
