Approve a payment through your online bank account

You can pay your Corporation Tax bill directly using your online or mobile bank account.

When you’re ready to pay, .

Select the ‘pay by bank account’ option. You’ll then be directed to sign in to your online or mobile banking account to approve a payment to ‘HMRC Shipley’.

Use your 17-character Corporation Tax payment reference number for the accounting period you’re paying.

You’ll find your reference number:

  • on your ‘notice to deliver your tax return’ or on any reminders from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)
  • in your company’s - choose ‘view account’, ‘accounting period’, then select the correct period

Your payment reference number changes with each accounting period, so you’ll need to use a different one each time you pay.

The payment is usually instant but can take up to 2 hours to show in your bank account.

You’ll need to have your online banking details ready to pay this way.
