Pay your Simple Assessment tax bill
Pay by cheque
You can pay by cheque through the post. Make the cheque payable to ‘HM Revenue and Customs only’ and send it to:
HMRC
Direct
BX5 5BD
United Kingdom
Write your 14-character payment reference starting with ‘X’ on the back of the cheque. You’ll find it on your Simple Assessment letter.
If you use the wrong reference number your payment may be delayed or used to pay a different tax bill that you owe. If your payment has paid the wrong tax bill, you can contact Income Tax enquiries to ask for your payment to be moved.
You must make sure your payment reaches HMRC by the deadline on your Simple Assessment letter.
