You can also apply for a write-off due to serious hardship if you know you won't be able to pay the full amount. If we grant relief from payment due to hardship and you have losses to carry forward, these losses will be reduced in proportion to the amount written off. 

Alternatively, you can send us a disclosure of financial position form - IR590 or call us on our Adverse Events line at 0800 473 566.
