Payment on Account is a tax payment made twice a year by self employed people as a means to spread the cost of that year’s tax liability.
The second payment is due 31st July 2019, for 2018/19 and the previous tax year ending 5 April.
The total tax to pay by midnight on 31 January 2019 is £2,700. This includes:
- Your ‘balancing payment’ of £1,200 for the 2017 to 2018 tax year (£3,000 minus £1,800)
- The first payment on account of £1,500 (half your 2017 to 2018 tax bill) towards your 2018 to 2019 tax bill
- You have to pay your second payment on account of £1,500 by midnight on 31 July 2019
If your tax bill for the 2018 to 2019 tax year is more than £3,000 (the total of your 2 payments on account), you’ll need to make a ‘balancing payment’ by 31 January 2020.
If you know your tax bill is going to be lower than last year, you can ask HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to reduce your payments on account. You can do this either online or by post.
