Preliminary Tax

    I was a PAYE worker for most of 2019, but then I set up a business which I now have to pay tax on. As I was mainly taxed under the PAYE system, my tax bill as a self-employed person is quite small.

    However, I'm confused about preliminary tax. There are various figures given (90%, 100% and 105%), but can I pay more than these, e.g 300%? - I want to pay as much as I can off my 2020 tax bill now.

    You can pay as much as you want. In order to ensure Revenue can't charge interest due to an underpayment you have to pay at least 90%, 100% or 105%.

    Thanks, that's helpful. The amount of tax I'll have to pay for 2020 will be much higher than in 2019 and I don't want a massive bill next year.

    Did you look at direct debit options?

    No, how would that work?
