Payments: Corporation Tax
We accept payment by a range of methods but recommend payment is made electronically. Electronic payments are efficient and more secure than payment by post.
Faster Payment
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is currently unable to receive or make payments
using the Faster Payment Service, which is offered by some banks.
For a bank's customer to make a Faster Payment, both its bank and the payee's bank must be members of the Faster Payment Scheme. The Bank of England, who is currently HMRC's banking supplier, made a decision some time ago to withdraw from the provision of retail banking services to its customers (one of which is HMRC) and has not joined the Faster Payments Scheme.
HMRC is in the process of migrating its business to a new banking supplier but services will not be fully operational until about mid-2009. By that time HMRC and the bank expect to have developed the necessary changes to their systems to enable Faster Payments to be made, received and processed effectively and efficiently.
You can pay by BACS Direct Credit, Internet or Telephone banking, or CHAPS. We can also accept payment by Bank Giro or at the Post Office.
Note: You cannot pay Corporation Tax by Debit Card over the internet (BillPay).
If you are sending payment direct to us please post your payment to the Accounts Office at Shipley. This office has systems which process your payment automatically which means your account is brought up to date promptly. Rather than posting a payment please consider paying electronically.
