    I received a Civil bill in the post yesterday relating to unpaid taxes to the Revenue. The civil bill wasn't a surprise but does anybody know what the next steps might be?

    You pay the taxes. Or, if you think you don't owe them, you instruct a solicitor (if you haven't already done so) to lodge a defence. If you don't lodge a defence (or persuade the Revenue to withdraw the proceedings) the next step will be that the Revenue get a court judgment against you in default of defence, and that is followed by enforcement proceedings.

    Tl;dr: Take this seriously. Get a lawyer.

    thanks for the feedback
    I have been in negotiations with the Revenue for well over a year - it's been a slow process.
    The full amount owed is less than 40k but still a debt.
    I have offered x amount repayment per month but this has been declined ( I offered the max I could afford)

    There is no way I can pay off the lump sum, no assets to sell and unable to get a loan to pay off the debt.

    I feel going through any court proceedings will just leave us back this the same position of only being able to afford a small amount per month that wont satisfy the revenue.
