Overview

The deadlines for paying your tax bill are usually:

• 31 January - for any tax you owe for the previous tax year (known as a balancing payment) and your first payment on account

• 31 July for your second payment on account

​

​

Pay by bank transfer

You need to visit your bank’s website, app or branch and use HMRC’s banking details to pay by bank transfer.

How long it takes

​

The back of your payslip, sent to you by HMRC, tells you which account to use. If you’re not sure, use Cumbernauld.
