How do I pay my tax bill?

Once you've submitted your tax return, it's your responsibility to pay it.

Please note, it can take up to two weeks for your bill to be reflected on the gov.uk site. If you're unsure, drop us a message ๐Ÿ‘

Once you've submitted your tax return with Earnr, HMRC will confirm the amount of tax you need to pay. You can see the amount of tax expected by HMRC at https://www.gov.uk/pay-self-assessment-tax-bill.

Once there, follow the steps below:

  1. click Pay Self Assessment now

  2. Choose Yes, sign in

  3. Sign in with the Government Gateway ID associated with your Personal Tax Account

  4. You should now see Business Tax Summary and beneath that, Self Assessment, and beneath that and to the right, Your balance along with a value if you have an outstanding balance to pay (take note of the value).

    If you're expecting a tax bill and see 'You have no tax to pay', check back later. BUT, don't let that result in paying after 31st January. If 31st January is close, it's best to pay your estimated tax bill to avoid a fine.

  5. Click Make a Self Assessment payment

  6. Enter the amount you wish to pay and click Continue

    1. Note, you need to make the full payment due by the 31st January, that's 10 months following the end of the tax year. This is the same deadline day as tax return submission.

    2. Please note, if HMRC are yet to confirm your bill, you can pay the estimated figure from Earnr to beat the 31 January deadline

  7. Choose a way to pay and follow the steps :)

If you aren't able to pay by the deadline, there is some guidance available here.
