Paying tax in installment.

Paying tax in installment.

Postby jeno on Mon Jan 16, 2012 2:06 pm

Hi,

I am a self employed person. I am filing my self assessment and paying the tax by 31 January. I calculated the final figure for the tax year 2010/11, and still not sure of how to do the adjustment with payment on accounts. I would really appreciate if any one explain of how the payment on account to be adjusted and please explain this process in full.

Thanks

The 1st Payment On Account (POA) for 2011-12 is normally 50% of the total tax due for 2010-11.

If you consider that it is too high - e.g. due to declining profits, more Capital Allowances, you can apply to reduce the POAs for 2011-12. Be careful about interest & penalties for negligent applications.
