How to remove the barriers and make the process simple

As another tax year draws to a close, the 31 January deadline for paying your personal tax bill starts to loom large. It’s one of those essential – if not particularly exciting – tasks that comes around every year.

We’ve spoken before about the common barriers that stop people from paying their tax bill promptly, even once we’ve given the green light. To help you avoid that last-minute scramble, we do everything we can to give you simple, accessible resources so that even the busiest person can settle their bill in minutes.

Different resources for different learning styles

People absorb information differently, so we’ve created a variety of tools to make the process as smooth as possible.

Written guidance

If you prefer clear, step-by-step instructions, our latest blog walks you through the different ways to pay your tax bill, including how to set up an installment plan if you need extra flexibility.

Visual support

If you’re more of a visual learner, our infographic breaks the process down into simple, easy-to-follow stages – ideal if dense text isn’t your thing.

If you need anything extra or feel unsure at any stage, our team is always happy to help.

Why paying early pays off

Once your bill is settled, it’s worth looking ahead. There’s no need to wait until 31 January to make payment in future – this is the latest acceptable moment, not the ideal one.
If you send us your records promptly after year end, we can prepare your return early, helping you avoid the deadline stress altogether.

We also regularly highlight the importance of keeping your bookkeeping current. Complete, accurate, and quality-checked data allows us to work proactively and give advice that could significantly reduce future tax bills.
