Does anyone know if it's possible to pay HMRC by direct debit, while still filing paper self assessment tax returns and if so, how?

    Go to www.gov.uk/pay-tax-direct-debit and follow the instructions.

    (Well, that's what it says on the reverse of my SA assessment, although I haven't actually tried it yet.....)

    EDIT - I've now tried it and successfully set up payment by DD.
