Balancing payment due for for year 22/23

While doing my self-assessment for 22/23, I discovered that the balance would have been more than £3,000. I paid in £200 to bring down the balance to under £3,000 in November 2023; and submitted my self-assessment on line on 15th December 2023. I opted for the balancing payment to be set against my PAYE tax code for 2024/25. I want confirmation that HMRC will set the 2024/25 tax coding accordingly to collect the balancing payment due by 31st January 2024.

Hi,

In order to confirm this, you would need to contact our Self Assessment team by webchat or phone.

Thank you.

HMRCs own guidance states that you can’t reduce the tax due to below 3K in order to have the amount collected via your tax code.

I did contact HMRC , had to wait over 30 minutes but had positive result and the tax of £2953.68 will be collected during 2024-25.
