Pay your Self Assessment tax bill (2024)

You can pay online.

There’s a fee if you pay by corporate credit card or corporate debit card. The fee is not refundable.

There’s no fee if you pay by personal debit card.

You cannot pay by personal credit card.

Use your 11-character payment reference when you pay. This is your 10-digit Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) followed by the letter ‘K’. You’ll find it either:

• in your HMRC online account
• on your paying-in slip, if you get paper statements

HMRC will accept your payment on the date you make it, not the date it reaches their account - including on bank holidays and weekends.

If you’re unable to pay your Self Assessment tax bill in full by card, you should use another payment method like a bank transfer.
