Interest accruing for SA liability collected via DD on 31 Jan

@intalex I paid by setting up the payment from my bank account via the HMRC website, it took me automatically to my banking app and then populated the account details and UTR code.
I did that in November last year.
Before querying with HMRC I called Nationwide and they confirmed it was sent as a Faster Payment on the 31st with all the correct details.
I have always paid by bank transfer and the payment has taken a few days to show on my account but this is the first year OVERDUE has been seen along with accrued interest which disappeared overnight from 4th to 5th.1 -

As of today £x is overdue and accruing interest is being calculated based on the amount overdue and current HMRC late payment interest rates.
Once the overdue amount is paid the actual interest charge will be calculated. If the due date for payment was 31 January 2025 and the effective date of payment of the payment allocated to the charge is also 31 January 2025 there won't be an interest charge.
It is a little surprising the payments haven't been allocated yet but I guess 31 January will be the busiest day by far for both Self Assessment returns and payments so probably nothing to worry about. Just yet.0 -

Just to confirm the payments on both accounts are now reflecting (effective date 30 Jan for some reason) as of this morning (5 working days later), and there is no interest accrual or charge showing any more.2

So, HMRC called for/requested the payment from your bank on 30 January and the payment arrived 5 working days later.
It seems your bank was tardy here. A direct debit, being a BACS payment, should normally take up to 3 working days to reach the of the account of the payee after the payee has called for the payment.

It is all down to the time taken for HMRC to update online accounts.
DDs are normally requested a few days before the account is due to be paid, not just with HMRC.
I have been making payments since 1998 but this year is the first time I have see OVERDUE and the phantom accrued interest that eventually disappears.
Even with this glitch the payments are not being recorded as late and no interest charged.

Until payment is allocated to your account there is no record of the payment having been made.If someone got charged interest due to forgetting to pay on time they could complain they were not told about it.
The system can only be one way or the other and it would appear it is considered best to advise of interest due for non payment to all.
If you know you have paid it will be sorted eventually so why get concerned about it.0
