Pay your Inheritance Tax bill
At your bank or building society
You can pay Inheritance Tax from your own bank account or a joint bank account if you held one in joint names with the deceased. You can claim it back from the deceased鈥檚 estate.
You can pay at a branch by cash or cheque.
Please complete one of your bank鈥檚 paying in slips with the following HMRC bank account details:
- sort code - 25 61 21
- account number - 63495590
- account name - HMRC Inheritance Tax
Make your cheque payable to 鈥楬M Revenue and Customs only鈥�.
Write the name of the deceased and your Inheritance Tax payment reference number on the back of the cheque. You鈥檒l find the reference number on the letter HMRC sent you.
HMRC will accept your payment on the date you make it and not the date it reaches HMRC鈥檚 account, if you pay between Monday and Friday.
