Electronic payment deadline falls on a weekend
The December 2021 PAYE electronic payment deadline falls on Saturday 22nd January 2022. To make sure your payment for December reaches HMRC on time, you need to have cleared funds in HMRC’s account by 21 January 2022 unless you are able to arrange a Faster Payment.
Remember that it’s your responsibility to make sure your payments are made on time and if your payment is late, you may be charged a penalty.
To know what date to initiate your payment and make sure HMRC have it on time, you need to speak to your bank or building society well in advance of making your payment to check single transaction, daily value limits and cut off times.
We process our December pay early – what do we tell HMRC?
Many businesses pay their December payroll early. However, for employees who also claim Universal Credit, this can cause a problem. See this earlier article on what to do if you pay your December wages earlier than usual.
