Can’t pay your tax bill in full by 31 January 2025? HMRC’s online Time to Pay system lets self-assessment taxpayers spread the cost over monthly instalments. With plans available for tax bills up to £30,000, this flexible option can help you avoid late payment penalties.
Those eligible for the self-serve option can arrange payments online without needing to contact an HMRC adviser. HMRC has revealed that more than 15,000 taxpayers have already set up a Time to Pay payment plan for the 2023-24 tax year.
To qualify for the online Time to Pay option, taxpayers must meet these conditions:
For taxpayers who do not meet these requirements or owe more than £30,000, other payment arrangements may be available. These are typically agreed on a case-by-case basis, tailored to individual circumstances and liabilities, allowing businesses and individuals to pay off their debt over time.
HMRC’s Director General for Customer Services, said:
We’re here to help customers get their tax right and if you are worried about how to pay your self-assessment bill, help and support is available. Customers can set up their online payment plan to suit their own financial circumstances and can spread those payments across a maximum of 12 months. It is a valuable option for someone needing extra flexibility in meeting their tax obligations.
