Change of HMRC Bank Account Details From 6 April 2009

From 6 April 2009 some of HM Revenue & Customs’ (HMRC) bank account details will be changing. You will need these new account details when making a payment to HMRC.

The changes will take place over a period of time starting with the following areas:

• Self Assessment
• Tax credit repayments
• Corporation Tax
• PAYE and Class 1 National Insurance contributions
• Class 1A National Insurance contributions
• PAYE Settlement Agreements payments
• Pension scheme payments
• Stamp Duty Land Tax
• Petroleum Revenue Tax
• HMRC penalties and other miscellaneous payments

If you pay by BACS Direct Credit, Internet, telephone banking or CHAPS

HMRC is now using the bank Citi for these types of electronic payments. You can find the new bank account numbers and sort codes by referring to the papers sent to you by HMRC or in the relevant guide in the ‘Paying HMRC’ section of this website - follow the link at the end of the page.

Individual banks and building societies will start accepting the new account details on or shortly after the 6 April 2009. If there is a delay your bank/building society will be able to advise you. You can continue to make payments using the old details until your bank is ready to accept the new ones.

Once your bank/building society is ready to accept HMRC’s new account details you should arrange to update any templates or transactions that you have stored for online banking purposes.

Payments using a payslip by Bank Giro or at the Post Office

HMRC will be using NatWest and Alliance & Leicester to process payments made by Bank Giro and at the Post Office. In time each payslip will show the new HMRC bank account details. You do not need to take any action because payments made using both old and new HMRC bank account details will continue to be accepted.

Note that the new bank account details differ from those used for paying by BACS, Internet, Telephone and CHAPS.

Planned changes for other payment types

HMRC will provide more information in due course as the new bank account changes take place in HMRC for other types of payment (for example VAT, Class 2 & 3 National Insurance Contributions).

Bumper April Package to Help Businesses

A bumper package of measures to increase consistency and streamline how business, agents and other customers work with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) will be introduced in April.

From 1 April 2009:

• HMRC will have one set of powers and safeguards covering PAYE, VAT, Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax and Corporation Tax. This means there will be less confusion for customers because the same rules will be applied, no matter which tax position we are checking.
• a new two-tier system of tax tribunals comes into effect - a ‘first-tier tribunal’ and an ‘upper tribunal’. General Commissioners, Special Commissioners and the VAT & Duties Tribunal will no longer exist.
• changes to simplify the entry and leaving rules for small businesses using the VAT flat rate scheme will take effect.

From 6 April 2009:

• employers with 50 or more employers will have to file their employee starter and leaver notifications and similar pensions notifications online.
• a new A4 version of the P45 form will replace the old style A5 form.
• changes to form P46 (Car), used for reporting the private use of cars supplied by employers, will be implemented.

Dave Hartnett, HMRC Permanent Secretary for Tax, said:

“These are important measures which will make it easier for businesses and their advisers to meet their obligations whilst making it easier to work with us and to get decisions on points of law. These initiatives will provide businesses with more consistency, certainty and faster on-line processing of key documents”.

Get Ready for New Compliance Checks Regime

Businesses need to get ready for the new aligned compliance checks framework that comes into effect next month, HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) warned today.

With new information and inspection powers, record keeping requirements, time limits for tax assessments and claims and the accompanying safeguards, businesses need to make sure that they know what this will mean for them.

From 1 April 2009, HMRC will have one set of powers and safeguards covering PAYE, VAT, Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Corporation Tax and the Construction Industry Scheme. There will also be safeguards in place to ensure that the powers are used appropriately.

HMRC’s Dave Hartnett said:

“This new approach to compliance checks will improve HMRC’s ability to ensure that the right tax is paid at the right time. We have consulted with taxpayers and their agents to make very sure that HMRC achieves the right balance between obtaining the information we need and appropriate use of our powers.”

£1Billion Cashflow Boost to Business

Over 60,000 businesses have agreed time to pay tax arrangements with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) totalling more than one billion pounds.

The Business Payment Support Service (BPSS) announced by the Chancellor in November’s Pre-Budget Report provides a fast track service that offers support to businesses needing more time to pay their tax bills. These businesses can quickly agree terms they can afford with HMRC over the phone.

The Right Honourable Stephen Timms, Financial Secretary to the Treasury said:

“I’m delighted that HMRC’s Business Payment Support Service is proving such a huge success, already providing a cashflow boost worth over a billion pounds to UK businesses.

“This service is delivering the kind of tangible support that business needs at this time. I would urge any business anticipating or experiencing difficulties paying their tax to call the helpline and get a quick response tailored to their specific needs.”
