Yes, and you do it at the point you need to work on that feature. The business pay for it when they want the change.
You do not pay for the refactor with your time, if the company won't pay to fix their code. Just make it clear the risks and how bad it could be if you carry on with duct tape fixes.
You have to be strong and firm and not agree to hacks. You need to work with your team to ensure you're on the same page rather than getting undermined by cowboy dev claiming he can do the feature in 2 days when it needs 2 weeks to do the necessary work.
