PAYE late payment penalty reference checker

When paying your PAYE late payment penalty you will need to provide your penalty reference number.

You'll find this printed in the format XA123456789012 (this reference is only an example and should not be used to make a payment) on the late payment penalty notice HMRC sent you.

Please do not use your PAYE Accounts Office reference to make your payment, as the penalty payment will not be identified and you will continue to receive reminders even though you have paid.

To check that your reference number is in the correct format, please enter it below then click on the 'Check reference' button.

Press 'Clear' to clear the number and start again

Important: Please enter the reference number in exactly the same format as shown, without any spaces. If you do not, your payment will take longer to update your account.
