Hi

I am just trying to complete my 2016-2017 tax return. I work full time and run a small business on the side.

I have got to the last page and this is the message

Total amount due for 2016-17 £0.00
Plus
First payment on account for 2016-17 £0.00
Total to be added to Self Assessment account due by 31 January 2018 £715.00
Second payment on account for 2016-17 will be due by 31 July 2018 £0.00

If all my payments due are £0.00 why will there be £715 added by Jan 18?

thanks in advance for your help.

  • Something seriously wrong somewhere,

    Second payment on account for 2016-17 will be due by 31 July 2018


    Payments on account for 2016:17 are due on 31:01:2017 and 31:07:2017, part way through and just after the end of the year, not a year and a bit after the year ends!!
  • I've had the same thing!
    Don't understand it at all!

    You do not make payments on account if you have paid 80% of the tax due already- eg your PAYE tax paid- or if the tax due is less than £1000.

    Any tax due would then be payable by 31 January as a balancing payment.

    Your statement does not make sense as it says your tax due for 2016/17 is £0.00 but there is a balancing payment due of £715.00

    What tax is shown as due in the calculation?
  • Hi guys
    Anyone got any update on the SA repayment screen. Bank repayment pending zone at the moment and guessing the Easter holiday won't help

    I filed 6th, switched to repayment pending on 7th and called up on 13th and told it needed manual security check. Guy on phone said around two weeks from 13th I should have it. Anyone in the same situation? Thanks
  • Hello I am in the same situation I done mine on the 6th and it still says pending bank repayment do I have to ring up or just wait ?
