Payments for Self Assessment to HMRC
https://www.gov.uk/understand-self-assessment-bill/payments-on-account
- The Tax year for Self Assessment runs 6 April to 5th April every year.
- All payments for the Tax year must be paid by 31st January, which
is also the deadline for the return.
- It is important to file your tax returns as soon as possible and on time to avoid penalties.
This starts at £100, and interest can build on unpaid tax.
- You have to make 2 payments on account every year unless:
* your last
Self Assessment tax bill was less than £1,000
* you paid more than 80% of the previous year’s tax you owed, for example through your
tax code or because your bank had already deducted interest on your savings
Each payment is half your previous
year’s tax bill. Payments are usually due by midnight on 31 January and 31 July.
