Self assessment payments via the HMRC app up 65%

The number of people using the HMRC app to pay their self assessment tax bill has increased by 65% this tax year, according to the tax authority.

The number of people using the HMRC app to pay their self assessment tax bill has increased by 65% this tax year, according to the tax authority.

Almost 340,000 people have used the HMRC app to pay their self assessment tax since 6 April 2025, an increase of 132,788 people compared to the same period last year, says HMRC.

Self assessment taxpayers need to file their tax return online for the 2024/25 tax year and pay any tax owed by 31 January 2026. HMRC is encouraging those yet to start theirs, to go to GOV.UK and do it now. Anyone who misses the deadline could be subject to an automatic £100 penalty.

HMRC says that filing tax returns ahead of the deadline means knowing how much tax to pay sooner.

The tax authority says it is quick and easy to pay via the HMRC app and set up payment reminders to make sure the deadline is not missed.

Myrtle Lloyd, HMRC's Chief Customer Officer, said:

'The self assessment deadline is less than one month away, and thousands of people have already paid their tax bill via the HMRC app. It is quick and easy to do, and you can also see your payment history. Search 'download the HMRC app' on GOV.UK to access the app and make your self assessment payment.'
