Online card payment processing operational

HMRC have issued guidance confirming that from 31 March 2026 their online filing service for company accounts and tax returns will close.

If you are a taxpayer and you are concerned that you cannot pay your tax bill on time, you have the option to set up an online “time to pay” arrangement with HMRC.  This means you can spread the cost of you tax bill over a period of 6-12 months, helping improve cash flow.
