Paying tax on my credit card

in Cutting tax
Good morning,
I'm assuming I'll have to pay 2k tax on my rental property next January. Does anyone know if I can use my credit card to do this? (0%) of course!
The reason I ask is this would allow me to overpay my interest only mortgage all year and reduce it whilst it's in it's infancy.
Anyone know?
Thanks in advance::)

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/payinghmrc/selfassessment.htmIf you wish to pay by credit card a non-refundable transaction fee of 1.4 per cent will be added to the charge. Any charge of less than £0.01 will be rounded up to a penny.0

Thanks! So am I right in thinking I'd be better off overpaying my mortgage (3.29%) and then paying the card off?Starting balance £173,000 (Sept 2012) interest only so if we do nothing We will owe this at the end of the term😁😁
