Currently, direct deductions only apply to debts over £1,000 and require surplus funds, but the new plan removes those limits. While HMRC claims it targets those who can pay but aren’t engaging, tax experts warn it risks devastating vulnerable households without minimum safeguards. The government is seeking public feedback until August 28th to shape how this power is implemented — a critical moment for fairness and financial protection.
