Help! Inland Revenue

Janet_M_5

I have just returned after 6 weeks in Canada.

I had several letters awaiting from an outstanding payment of Inc. Tax arrears and it must be paid immediately.

Tax office is some 28 miles away as i live rural.

Can i pay the balance online, or phone them with visa as deadline payment is Thursday.

Hi Janet_M,
Hope you had a good time in Canada! I usually pay my tax online, but you need to check how long it will take to clear - I had to pay by cheque once because the bank transfer wouldn't clear by the deadline date, but the posted cheque should have a postmark before the deadline (mad, I know, as the cheque then takes even longer to clear, but there you are....)
I'd give them a ring and ask which way they will accept payment - if all else fails a cheque is usually fine - NB I have paid by credit card cheque more than once, yes I know, I know......
Welcome back to the UK!!
