CHANGES TO THE WAY YOU CAN PAY HMRC

HMRC are making some changes to the way that customers can make payments to them, to make it more secure and convenient to you.

As from 15^th December 2017 you will no longer be able to pay at the Post Office and from 13^th January 2018 you will no longer be able to pay by personal credit cards.

There are many other ways in which you can pay,

• Direct Debit
• Online or telephone banking (including Faster Payments, BACs and CHAPS)
• Debit/Corporate Credit cards online or by telephone.
• At a Bank or Building Society, ensuring you have an HMRC paying in slip
• A cheque through the post
• For your Self Assessment bill you can use the above, your PAYE tax code or a budget payment plan

For National Insurance contributions you cannot use a debit/credit card.

For BACS and cheque payments please allow 3 working days for HMRC to receive payment.  Faster Payments usually reach HMRC on the same or next day, including weekends and bank holidays, with CHAPS payments reaching HMRC the same working day depending if payment is sent within the bank’s processing times.

GOV.UK has further information about paying HMRC as well as more guidance on paying your self assessment tax bill.
