Pay your Inheritance Tax bill
By cheque through the post
Make your cheque payable to ‘HM Revenue and Customs only’.
Write both of the following on the back of the cheque:
- the name of the deceased
- your Inheritance Tax payment reference number - find this on the letter HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) sent you
Your payment may be delayed if you do not fill in your cheque properly.
Do not fold your cheque.
Send your cheque separately to any other forms or letters you need to send HMRC. If you send anything else with your cheque, your payment might be delayed.
Do not send cheques for probate fees to HMRC. Find out how to apply for probate and pay probate fees.
