How Do Clients Make HMRC Payments and What Information Do They Need?
Step-by-step guide for submitting PAYE and NIC payments to HMRC
To stay compliant, clients must ensure that all PAYE and National Insurance contributions are paid to HMRC no later than the 22nd of each month (or the 19th if paying by post). Here's how the process works:
📆 When to Pay
-
Due date: 22nd of the month following the payroll date
Example: For March payroll, payment is due by 22nd April.
📄 Where to Find the Payment Amount
-
The total due is listed in the Detailed P32 Report available in your monthly payroll documents.
-
Alternatively, if you've opted in, we will email you the amount each month by the 6th.
