Pay a PAYE Settlement Agreement

Overview

You must pay the tax and Class 1B National Insurance due from your PAYE Settlement Agreement (PSA) by 22 October following the tax year it applies to.

If you’re paying by post, you must pay by 19 October.

Ways to pay

Make sure you pay HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) by the deadline. You may have to pay penalties and interest if your payment is late.

The time you need to allow depends on how you pay.

Same or next day

3 working days or more

5 working days

  • Direct Debit - if you haven’t set up one for HMRC before

If the deadline falls on a weekend or bank holiday, make sure your payment reaches HMRC on the last working day before it (unless you’re paying by Faster Payments).

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Burbidge & Son Ltd,

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information.  It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers.  We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events.  When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
