Paying HMRC - Further Guidance

HMRC accept various ways to pay your PAYE bill. Please see Pay employers' PAYE for more information.

You must pay your PAYE bill to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) by:

  • the 22nd of the next tax month if you pay monthly

  • the 22nd after the end of the quarter if you pay quarterly - for example, 22 July for the 6 April to 5 July quarter

If you pay by cheque through the post, it must reach HMRC by the 19th of the month.

You may have to pay interest and penalties if your payment is late.
