    It's not a tax.

    It's interest on late payment.

    As Webberg said the TTP interest is actually 4.25% of the amount agreed to settle over the agreed time( not 1%). That is separate to the 3.25 % they would have already added to previous open years from each respective tax year due date.
    TTP interest is the current 3.25% late payment interest + the 1% forward interest = 4.25% total.

    I suspect that this is interest calculated at 4.25% on unpaid instalments from the date of settlement to date of payment.

    the late payment interest is applied for settlement to open years from the tax year until the settlement date. Then if you need TTP it is applied for the future period of the TTP (+1% forward interest) - but then also includes open and closed years.

    Some things that stand out on my pack:

    They've calculated in interested for income tax (understand that) but then they've added something called Forward Tax. My wife had only messaged me the front two pages so I don't know if it goes into detail explaining what it is but they don't on the front two pages and the lady on the phone didn't know either. If I was to guess I'd have guessed it is to cover interest for the period of the installments they've suggested.

    Also, they mention 'not letting them if I intend to release the loans' and 'if I intend to release the loans to let them know immediately' without explaining why.
