From 31 May 2023, VAT registered businesses can set up a payment plan online if they owe less than £20,000 of VAT.
An eligible VAT registered business can set up a VAT payment plan online if it:
- has filed its latest VAT return;
- owes £20,000 or less;
- is within 28 days of the payment deadline;
- does not have any other payment plans or debts with HMRC; and
- plans to pay off its debt within the next six months.
Businesses are not eligible to use the online service if:
- they use VAT cash accounting or annual accounting schemes;
- they make VAT payments on account
If businesses need to agree a payment plan and they are not eligible to use the self-serve time to pay service, they should contact HMRC.
