The simplest method of paying your HMRC Self-assessment bill is via a bank transfer.

1. Log on to your online banking
2. Create a payment to a company: HMRC Self-Assessment Cumbernauld
3. Include your UTR number followed by a K as the reference.

Please note if you use Barclays bank to HMRC via this method, you must ensure to capitalise the K in your reference number.

You can also pay HMRC with a debit card or corporate credit card.

You will need to pay “Self-Assessment”, and the payment reference number is your 10-digit UTR number.

If you would prefer to negotiate a Time to Pay agreement with HMRC, that may allow you to spread the payments over a longer term.

You can only do this online if:

• You have a Government Gateway account
• have filed your latest tax return
• owe less than £30,000
• are within 60 days of the payment deadline
• plan to pay your debt off within the next 12 months or less

You can either do this online here: HMRC Time to pay portal.

Please note that the following due dates apply to all HMRC self-assessment payments:

1. The Year-end Balancing Payment: January the 31st following the April year-end date.
2. 1st Payment on account: January the 31st following the April year-end date.
3. 2nd Payment on account: July the 31st following the 1st payment on account due date.

For example, the 22.23 Self-assessment bill is for the 22.23 Financial year, which ends on April the 5th, 2023.

1. The 22.23 Year-end balancing payment is due by January the 31st, 2024.
2. The 1st 23.24 payment on account is due by January the 31st, 2024.
3. The 2nd 23.24 payment on account is due by July the 31st, 2024.

Assuming you can pay HMRC by the due date by whichever means, then a Time to pay arrangement is not necessary.

A Time to pay arrangement is only necessary if you cannot pay HMRC by the due date.
