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 (or 19 October if you pay by post).
This guide is also available in Welsh (Cymraeg).
Pay online
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.
You can pay online by:
- approving through your bank account
- Direct Debit (one-off payment)

Other ways to pay
You can choose to pay in other ways. The time you need to allow depends on how you pay.
You can no longer pay at the Post Office.
