Paying PAYE Settlement Agreements by CHAPS
This page tells you how to make payment by CHAPS.
Paying by CHAPS
The CHAPS system enables you to tell your bank to make an immediate payment. You know for certain that payment will reach us on the day the bank makes the payment.
CHAPS payments are significantly more expensive than other payment methods but maybe of benefit to employers making very large payments. We receive sameday value so long as you initiate payment within the time specified by your bank (usually between 9.00am and 3.00pm).
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 this system 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shipley | 10 50 41 | 23456000 | AO Shipley |
If your payment is made to the wrong bank account there may be a delay before your account is credited or your payment may not be received at all.
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.
