Payment on account not appearing on self-assessment calculation?

RSTime

I am just completing my self-assessment for 2024-25. 

I made a payment on account for 2024-25 in January and have another payment on account in July.

When I look at the calculation for tax for my 2024-25 self-assessment I cannot see where a deduction has been made for the payments on account? Does the deduction happen after I submit and the form processed?

No, POA you make are never part of your Self Assessment calculation.

When your Self Assessment account is updated to show your actual 2024-25 liability that is where you will see the POA.

For example total liability £5,000 with POA of £2,000 each would leave a Balancing Payment of £1,000.  Payable on 31 January 2026.

Perhaps, as is normally the case with such questions, the op is referring to the 2024/25 payments on account that were made in January and due to be made in July 2025. 

‘where a deduction has been made for the payments on account’. 

OP - tax liability per 2024/25 calculations less payment on account made in January 2025 less payment on account due in July 2025 equals balancing payment due January 2026.

The tax calculation showing when you complete your tax return is not connected to the system until you press send. So there is no link to show any payments made on account on that calculation.

once your return is processed the payments  on account made will  be reviewed  for any  adjustment  due to  actual tax due.

The payments will be shown on your statement  of tax due , once the return is processed.
