What you’ll need

You’ll need to use your 13-character accounts office reference number as the payment reference. You can find this on either:

the letter HMRC sent you when you first registered as an employer.
the front of your payment booklet or the letter from HMRC that replaced it

Or call us and we can provide you with your UTR number.

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

At your bank or building society

Cheques should be made payable to ‘HM Revenue and Customs only’ followed by your 13-character accounts office reference number. You can find this on the letter HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) sent you when you first registered as an employer.

You’ll need to pay in using the payslip for the correct period. If you do not have one of these, ask HMRC to send you a payment booklet.

Allow 3 working days for your payment to reach HMRC’s bank account.

By cheque through the post

You can send a cheque by post to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) if you have fewer than 250 employees.
