At your bank or building society

You can pay at a branch by cash or cheque.

Make your cheque payable to ‘HM Revenue and Customs only’.

Write your Class 1A payslip reference number on the back of your cheque. You’ll find the reference number on the payslip provided by HMRC.

You must use your Class 1A payslip when paying in. Do not use a standard PAYE payslip from your booklet or your payment will be delayed.

How long it takes

Allow 3 working days for your payment to reach HMRC’s bank account.
