What happens after I've filed with Earnr?

Your Earnr app will no longer update when you submit a tax return, or show the tax payments. This is being handled by email going forward.

After you have submitted a tax return:

• you will get a notification about your completed return. This will include something called an IR Mark, which is effectively HMRC's stamp that says it's been accepted.
• after a few days, you will also get a statement from HMRC showing what you need to pay and by when. This may come by post, or you can see it in your own personal tax account at HMRC. untied do not get a copy of this (though it's something we'd like to include in the future)

Payments are due on 31 January (any further tax due for the tax year being filed, plus a payment on account for the next tax year), and on 31 July (the second payment on account).

If it looks like you're going to miss the payment deadline, then contact HMRC and ask for an extension or a payment plan. After all, it's in their interests that you can afford to pay your tax. You can call HMRC on 0300 200 3300. If you have issues with tax debt, then we have linked to another related article at the bottom of this page that can help.

How to pay

It's your responsibility to pay your tax.

Please note, it can take up to two weeks for your bill to be reflected on the gov.uk site. If you're unsure, drop us a message 👍

Once you've submitted your tax return with Earnr, HMRC will confirm the amount of tax you need to pay. You can see the amount of tax expected by HMRC at https://www.gov.uk/pay-self-assessment-tax-bill.

Once there, follow the steps below:

1. click Pay Self Assessment now

   

   
   

2. Choose Yes, sign in

   

   
   

3. Sign in with the Government Gateway ID associated with your Personal Tax Account

   

   
   
   

4. You should now see Business Tax Summary and beneath that, Self Assessment, and beneath that and to the right, Your balance along with a value if you have an outstanding balance to pay (take note of the value).

   

   If you're expecting a tax bill and see 'You have no tax to pay', check back later. BUT, don't let that result in paying after 31st January. If 31st January is close, it's best to pay your estimated tax bill to avoid a fine.

   
   

   Click Make a Self Assessment payment

5. 
   

   Enter the amount you wish to pay and click Continue

   1. Note, you need to make the full payment due by the 31st January, that's 10 months following the end of the tax year. This is the same deadline day as tax return submission.

   2. Please note, if HMRC are yet to confirm your bill, you can pay the estimated figure from Earnr to beat the 31 January deadline

      
      
6. Choose a way to pay and follow the steps :)

If you aren't able to pay by the deadline, there is some guidance available here.
