Second payment on account – reminder

The deadline for the second payment on account for tax paid through self-assessment is 31 July 2016.

Payment is required if the tax bill is more than £1,000, unless you’ve already paid more than 80% of all tax you owe.

2 payments are due each year – on 31 January and 31 July. Each payment is half of the previous year’s tax bill.

People who are already registered for self-assessment with HMRC can check their payments on account via your online account. This will show any payments on account already made and any payments owed.
