Paying PAYE at the Post Office

You can make a PAYE and Class 1 NICs payment at participating Post Offices by cheque, cash or debit card without charge. We treat any payment made at the Post Office as electronic.
If paying this way please:

• take your payslip with you (otherwise you’ll be charged for using this service)
• make cheques payable to ‘Post Office Ltd’.

Note: From 2008/09 we have removed the separate PAYE and NIC amount boxes from the payslip. You only need to enter the total ‘Amount due’ that you are paying.

PAYE electronic payment deadline

Your cleared payment must reach our bank account no later than the 22nd of the month following the end of the month/quarter to which it relates. 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. If your payment is late you may be charged interest.

To allow for possible delays in bank processing, for which we are not responsible, we advise you not to leave payment until the last day. We advise you to allow at least three bank working days for it to reach us, bank working days are Monday to Friday excluding bank holidays.
