£67m worth of tax returns paid via HMRC app

Over the last eight months or so, almost 65,000 people have used the HMRC app to pay their self-assessment bills.

HMRC figures show that in December alone, 14,170 people paid via the app, which is the highest number of app payments in one month since it was launched in February 2022.

Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC’s Director General for Customer Services, said, “We want to help Self Assessment customers meet their obligations and HMRC offers a range of options to help customers pay their tax return bill. To choose the option that suits them, customers can search ‘pay my Self Assessment’ on GOV.UK to find out more.”

Those who are yet to submit and pay any tax owed are being reminded that the deadline for the 2021 to 2022 tax year is the 31^st of January – HMRC is urging people to take advantage of the resources available should they need any extra help with completing theirs.

For those who are unable to pay in full, there’s the possibility of a payment plan that will allow them to spread the cost into manageable monthly instalments.
