VAT payment deadline calculator

This tool will help you decide when to set up or make your VAT payment to HMRC.

It tells you the:

last date for making a payment or setting up a Direct Debit Instruction
date by which HMRC must receive cleared funds

It doesn't include deadlines for payments on account, and annual accounting or non-standard tax periods.

Please note - this tool is only a guide. Banks and building societies can operate different arrangements for setting up payments. So before making a payment to HMRC you must check the following with your own bank or building society:

Are there any single or daily limits to how much you can transfer from your account?
Is there a cut-off time for processing payments on the same day?
How long your payment will take to clear into HMRC's bank account?

Checking these details will help to ensure that you do not incur any unnecessary late payment surcharges.
