Help r.e this DD..

gabyjane

I am in the process of closing my account with Abbbey down, i have narrowed anmd cancelled my very long list of around 19 DD's to 2 and am lost on the last one of them, it shows who it is for inland rev and that mandate no but other than that i cannot seem to find out what on earth it is for or any amount, it must have been set up for a reaason but the banks is no help. I don't want to cancel and then get charged for a non payment and not sure what to do..can't see anything on my statement though either
Any ideas please as want to get this closed down asap.
Thanks

Speak to HMRC about it. The bank wont know what it is for as all they do is pay money out when requested.

The DD should show the last time it was triggered and the value? Odds on it's for self-employed NI (Class 2). Around £2.30pw payable monthly?

As 'mainstream' HMRC have only recently (Dec 08) made DD generally available. And I'm sure you would remember if you'd set it up to pay your SA tax for 31st Jan?

Hi thanks i already pay N.I payments each month and that's a different dd..i will ring them tommorow just to check, thanks

Then it's either VAT (if you're registered) or you've had a payment arrangement for your SA tax exceeding 3 instalments .... as they insist on DD for that.

If you post the Reference number from the DD (but XX out a few of the numerics .. to anonymise it) .... the structure should allow someone to tell you.
