Payment problems

Online

Ask HMRC online

Ask HMRC’s digital assistant to get help if you’re having problems paying what you owe for:

  • Self Assessment
  • VAT
  • Employer’s PAYE
  • Corporation Tax

If the digital assistant cannot help you, you can ask to transfer to a webchat with an HMRC adviser if they’re available.

The HMRC adviser will not be able to transfer you to another webchat team.
