There are five criteria that must be met for HMRC to consider an online payment arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The five criteria are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The self-assessment amount due must be between \u00a332 and \u00a330,000.<\/li><li>There must be NO outstanding tax returns to submit<\/li><li>There must be NO other tax debts<\/li><li>There must be NO other active HMRC payment plans<\/li><li>The length of the payment plan must not exceed 12 months<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The deadline to set up online payments is within 60 days of the due date \u2013 in this case, 1st April 2022 for the current tax year and the first payment on account for the coming tax year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t qualify based on the five rules mentioned above, you can still apply for normal (not online) time-to-pay arrangements. It\u2019s worth noting that time-to-pay arrangements don\u2019t show up in credit searches \u2013 but if it ends up with an Individual Voluntary Agreement (IVA) or County Court Judgement (CCJ) being made, that will obviously show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Talk to us about agreeing a time-to-pay arrangement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re concerned about not being able to pay your January self-assessment income tax bill, please do come and talk to us.
