HMRC have introduced a new online payment service for taxpayers who wish to settle their self assessment and VAT bills by debit or credit card.
The system was launched by the department in beta mode on December 2014, in partnership with card processing provider Worldpay.
Taxpayers still have the option of paying by card using the Billpay service hosted by Santander Corporate Banking – which the Revenue expects to be superseded by the Worldpay equivalent.
HMRC have launched a consultation on the closure rules for enquiries, to examine the current process and the restrictions it puts on the department in resolving one or more aspects of an enquiry.
The Revenue is seeking views on plans to streamline the system by enabling tax officials to obtain early closure of one or more facets of an enquiry, when it is not appropriate to close the whole matter.
