Pay your Corporation Tax bill

Make an online or telephone bank transfer

How you pay depends on whether you바카라 사이트™re using a UK or an overseas bank account.

UK bank accounts

You can make a bank transfer using Faster Payments, CHAPS or Bacs:

  • from your online bank account
  • by phoning your bank

Your 바카라 사이트˜notice to deliver your tax return바카라 사이트™, or any reminder from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), will tell you which account to pay into. If you바카라 사이트™re not sure, use HMRC Cumbernauld.

  • sort code: 08 32 10 
  • account number: 12001039
  • account name - HMRC Cumbernauld 

Or:

  • sort code: 08 32 10 
  • account number: 12001020
  • account name - HMRC Shipley

Overseas bank accounts

Use these details to pay from an overseas account.

  • account number (IBAN) - GB62 BARC 2011 4770 2976 90

  • Business Identifier Code (BIC) - BARCGB22 

  • account name -  HMRC Cumbernauld

  • account number (IBAN) - GB03 BARC 2011 4783 9776 92 

  • Business Identifier Code (BIC) - BARCGB22

Some banks will charge you if you do not pay in pounds sterling.

Reference number

Use your 17-character Corporation Tax payment reference number for the accounting period you바카라 사이트™re paying.

Your payment reference number changes with each accounting period, so you바카라 사이트™ll need to use a different one each time you pay.

If you바카라 사이트™ve paid by bank transfer in the past and saved HMRC as a payee, your bank automatically saves the reference number you last used. You바카라 사이트™ll need to update this with the correct reference number.

You바카라 사이트™ll find your reference number:

  • on your 바카라 사이트˜notice to deliver your tax return바카라 사이트™ or on any reminders from HMRC
  • in your company바카라 사이트™s - choose 바카라 사이트˜view Corporation Tax statement바카라 사이트™, 바카라 사이트˜accounting periods바카라 사이트™, then select the correct period

Your payment may be delayed if you use the wrong reference number.
