HMRC will stop accepting payments of tax and PAYE made at post offices from 15 December 2017, and using personal credit cards from 13 January 2018.
The post office is to withdraw the Transcash service from 15 December. The latest Agent Update also confirms that HMRC will no longer accept payments made from personal credit cards from 13 January 2018. The reason given is that credit card payments can only be accepted on the basis that there is no cost to the public purse. From 13 January, the EU Payment Services Directive II prohibits merchants (including HMRC) from recharging associated fees back to customers.
HMRC’s preferred payment methods are: direct debit; online or telephone banking (including faster payments, BACs and CHAPS); or debit card online or by telephone.
