Pay your Inheritance Tax bill
Make an online or telephone bank transfer
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’s estate.
You can pay by Faster Payments (online or telephone banking), CHAPS or Bacs to HM Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC) account:
- sort code - 08 32 10
- account number - 12001136
- account name - HMRC Inheritance Tax
You’ll need to use your Inheritance Tax payment reference number as the payment reference.
How long it takes
Payments made by Faster Payments will usually reach HMRC on the same or next day, including weekends and bank holidays.
CHAPS payments usually reach HMRC the same working day if you pay within your bank’s processing times.
Bacs payments usually take 3 working days.
Check your bank’s transaction limits and processing times before making a payment.
