Tudo sobre Self Assessment — Payments on Account
📋Apresentação+
Estimates the 2025/26 Self Assessment liability on self-employment profit — income tax (top-slice above any income already taxed at source) plus Class 4 NIC (6% between £12,570 and £50,270, 2% above; Class 2 abolished from 2024/25) — then builds the payment schedule: two payments on account of 50% of last year's bill and the balancing payment due the following 31 January.
💡 Boas práticas
- The January payment often doubles up: balancing payment for last year plus the first payment on account for the current year.
- If you expect lower profits, you can apply to reduce your payments on account (form SA303) — but interest applies if you reduce too much.
- Class 2 NIC was abolished from 2024/25; state pension credits are preserved automatically above the small profits threshold.
🔢 Exemplo concreto
£60,000 trading profit, £10,000 prior-year bill: income tax £11,432 + Class 4 NIC £2,456.60 = £13,888.60. Two £5,000 payments on account (31 Jan / 31 Jul), balancing payment £3,888.60, and next January's total due £10,832.90 including the first 2026/27 payment on account.
