Making Payment

All banks and building societies that offer Internet and Telephone banking payments can accept payments for Corporation Tax .

Payment Date

These payment methods enable you to tell your bank to make a payment on a specific date. You therefore know for certain on which day payment will reach us.

It normally takes three bank working days for payment to reach us. Some banks or building societies take longer. You should check with your bank or building society to see how long they take to transfer payment and what their cut off time is for initiating a payment is.

For interest purposes we will treat your payment as having been made the working day before we receive it.

Bank Account Details

When using these electronic systems you will need to provide your bank or building society with our bank account details. These are

Accounts Office	Sort Code	Account Number	Account Name
Cumbernauld	10 51 67	23444401	AO Cumbernauld
Shipley	10 50 41	23456000	AO Shipley

Reference Number

You will also need to provide details of your Corporation Tax reference number. This is shown on the bottom line of your payslip on the left hand side. The reference is made up of 17 characters, for example 1234005678A00101A. Your reference is year specific so please quote it exactly.

It is important that you show the reference number with no gaps between the characters. If you do it could lead to delays in updating your record.
