Direct Debit

You can set up a Direct Debit to make regular payments from a UK bank account.

You cannot pay by Direct Debit:

  • from a foreign bank account
  • if you have a certificate of coverage
  • if you’re making a payment of more than £20 million

Allow 21 days to set up a new Direct Debit. 

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will send you a letter telling you when payments will be taken and how much they will be. 

Payments will appear on your statement as ‘HMRC NI-DD’. HMRC will write to you if your payments change for any reason. 

If you have a question about your Direct Debit payments contact the National Insurance helpline.
