Provision for payment of all future statutory liabilities on time

Provision for payment of all future statutory liabilities on time means that

  • Cash flow projections must show a reserve for future statutory liabilities such as tax PAYE/NIC and VAT on pre-determined dates
  • It must be possible for the business to survive and pay a dividend to its existing creditors without running up further debts
    • The problems which gave rise to the past debts have been eliminated
    • There should be an income stream to meet all commitments.

A proposal is not viable if it robs future creditors in order to make payments under the proposal.
