How to access the Self Assessment Time to Pay Facility

The HMRC self- serve time to pay facility is now available online to set up monthly direct debits to pay outstanding tax liabilities.

You can set up a payment plan to spread the cost of your latest Self Assessment bill if:

  • you owe £30,000 or less
  • you do not have any other payment plans or debts with HMRC
  • your tax returns are up to date
  • it’s less than 60 days after the payment deadline

Interest will be applied to any outstanding balance from 1 February 2021.

You do not need to contact HMRC if you set up a payment plan online but if you are not eligible for a payment plan or cannot use the online service call the self assessment helpline 0300 200 3310
