"Payment on account" - one of those phrases that gets thrown around a lot, but what does it actually mean?
In short: it's HMRC asking you to pay some of next year's tax bill in advance, based on what you owed the year before. It's usually split into two instalments - one in January, one at the end of July.
If that's new to you, you're not alone. It trips up a lot of people the first time round, especially if no one's explained it clearly before.
The next instalment is due 31st July - if you're unsure what yours looks like, it's always worth checking in with us.

A huge thank you to our two CIEE: Council on International Educational Exchange interns, Alyssa and Tyler, who have now finished their internships at Zen Consultants.
It has been an absolute pleasure having you both as part of the team - the perspective and energy you brought made a real impression on all of us. We hope you enjoyed your time with us as much as we enjoyed having you.
Wishing you both the very best as you head into your next adventures 🩵
