How to pay VAT

There are several ways to pay VAT liability. Bank transfer (CHAPS) is one of the most convenient.

Please follow instructions: To pay your VAT by CHAPS transfer you will need HMRC's bank account details.
Please take care if you need to enter HMRC bank account details. If you make a mistake with the sort code or account number there may be a delay before your record is credited or your payment may not be received at all.
