Tax changes may help debt management

Increasing the tax threshold will help the economy and help people pay off their debts. That’s the view of Matthew Elliot, chief executive of the Taxpayers’ Alliance following proposals by the coalition Government that it should be increased to £10000 from April 2011. He believes low and middle earners will benefit from more money in their pockets. The extra money could help debt management plans. Debt Relief Orders (DRO) can help vulnerable borrowers owing less than £15000, pay a more manageable monthly amount. An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) could see those with unsecured debts over £15000 avoid bankruptcy.
