Pay Machine Games Duty
By debit or corporate credit card online
You can pay online.
There’s a fee if you pay by corporate credit card or corporate debit card. The fee is not refundable.
There’s no fee if you pay by personal debit card.
You cannot pay by personal credit card.
You’ll need to use your 14-character Machine Games Duty (MGD) payment reference number starting with ‘X’ when you pay.
You’ll find it on:
- your HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) online account
- the MGD Registration Certificate HMRC sent you
HMRC will accept your payment on the date you make it (even on bank holidays and weekends) - not the date it reaches HMRC’s account.
If you’re unable to pay your MGD bill in full by card, you should use another payment method like a bank transfer.
