Reference number

Use your 17-character Corporation Tax payment reference number for the accounting period you鈥檙e paying.

Your payment reference number changes with each accounting period, so you鈥檒l need to use a different one each time you pay.

If you鈥檝e paid by bank transfer in the past and saved HMRC as a payee, your bank automatically saves the reference number you last used. You鈥檒l need to update this with the correct reference number.

You鈥檒l find your reference number:

  • on your 鈥榥otice to deliver your tax return鈥� or on any reminders from HMRC
  • in your company鈥檚 - choose 鈥榲iew Corporation Tax statement鈥�, 鈥榓ccounting periods鈥�, then select the correct period

Your payment may be delayed if you use the wrong reference number.

Payments made by Faster Payments (online or telephone banking) will usually reach HMRC on the same or next day, including weekends and bank holidays.
