Total Income Tax Due to be offset by Prepaid Payments on Accounts

Hi there, I did my first Self-Assessment last year for Tax Year 2020-2021 and already made two Payments On Account (one in Jan 2022 and the other in July 2022) which, as I understood, serves as prepayment for my tax payment for Tax Year 2021-2022. Today, I have just completed filling the online Self-Assessment form for Tax Year 2021-2022. The system shows the calculation of the Total Income Tax Due for Tax Year 2021-2022 which, however, does not include any deduction due to the two Payments On Account paid in Jan 2022 and Jul 2022. Is it normal? When I make the tax payment online, will the net amount to be paid be automatically offset by the two Payments on Account? Please advise. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you very much.

Hi JL, 

The calculation at the end of the tax return will now show the payments you have already made.

You should deduct these amounts and pay the remainder due

These payments will already have been allocated against the amounts due.

Thank you.
