Self assessment tax due not including Payment on Account already made

littlemoney

My SA was submitted and received on 24 September a week ago. When will I see the amounts I owe after thay have taken my payments on account into consideration. Currently I can only view a tax calulation where it specifially states

This amount does not take into account any 2025-26 payments on account you may have already made

According to these figures I have to make a balancing payment and payment on account by 31 January 2027. I have already paid more in payments on account than the total of these two amounts.

Advice would be appreciated please. Thank

View your online statement of account.

But I think there is some misunderstanding. What was your total tax bill for 25/26. How much have you paid on account in Jan and July 2026.

the relationship between the tax return, POA and the account balance is a common cause of confusion.

the tax calculation shows what tax is liable for 25/26, it does not show the money you actually owe, as it says, it does reflect any payments already made iro 25/26.

Only when you look at your account balance on your personal tax account will you see your actual balance owed, and it always takes time for the balance to be updated after submitting the tax return.

The POA due in Jan 27 is your first POA in respect of 26/27 tax year and has little to do with your tax return except that it is based on 50% of the tax liability declared in the previous tax year, ie your 25/26 tax return.

In self assessment the view statement says

"You do not have any statement information to view."

In my tax calculation my tax bill for 2025/26 plus first payment on account for 2026/27 is less that the Payments on Account I have already made

Not sure what is going on especially as I'm new to all this

'New to this' - is this your first tax return?

What payments on account are you referring to if so?

You had some issue with the submission of your return - has that been resolved yet (ie do you have a submission date)? Maybe that could be connected to the figures not being updated but as mentioned it does take some days for the figures to show up in your personal tax account so maybe give it a week and check again.

Can you see figures for previous tax years?

It's my first time doing my own submission. I April I had to do 2024/25 but paid a tax accountant to do as had only 3 months to submit. They calculated payments I had to make including POAs for 2025/26.

Now doing the 2025/26 submission myself with help of everyone here.

I got an email for success submission plus date received showing on my account. Submission and received dates are both 24 September

I will check about 2024/25

it can take up to 7 working dates for the statement of account to update.

It will depend on the volume of work currently processing.
