This page tells you about

Making Payment

All banks and building societies that offer Internet and Telephone banking payments can accept payments for PAYE Settlement Agreements.

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.

Payment Date

All employers who pay electronically, have until the 22nd October to pay. This means that your cleared payment must reach our bank account no later than the 22nd October.

Where the 22nd falls on a weekend or bank holiday, you must ensure that your payment reaches our bank account no later than the last bank working day before the 22nd.

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

 
Accounting & Payment Service Sort Code Account Number Account Name
Accounts Office Shipley 10 50 41 23456000 AO Shipley

Reference Number

You will also need to provide details of your reference number. The reference is made up of 14 characters, for example XA012345678912 and can be found on the payslip we have sent to you.

It is important that you show the reference with no gaps between the characters. If you do not, it could lead to delays in updating your account.
