Overview
When you register or renew your registration with HMRC there are fees you need to pay.
There are also fees to pay for fit and proper tests, if appropriate, and for premises you register.
If you do not pay your annual renewal fee on time, HMRC may cancel your registration.
How much time to allow
The time you need to allow depends on how you pay.
When you register or renew online you will be taken directly to the online payment process within the service.
| Payment methods | Time allowance |
|---|---|
| Approve a payment through your online bank account | Same or next day |
| Online or telephone banking (Faster Payments) | Same or next day |
| CHAPS | Same or next day |
| Bacs | 3 working days |
| Online debit or corporate credit card | Same or next working day |
If the annual renewal deadline falls on a weekend or bank holiday, make sure your payment reaches HMRC on the last working day before (unless you’re paying by Faster Payments).
Ways to pay
Approve a payment through your online bank account
You can pay directly using your online or mobile bank account.
When you’re ready to pay, start your Money Laundering Regulations payment. Select the ‘pay by bank account’ option. You’ll then be directed to sign in to your online or mobile banking account to approve your payment.
The payment is usually instant but sometimes it takes up to 2 hours to show in your account.
You’ll need to have your online banking details ready to pay this way.
Bank details for customers who’re registering or already registered online
If you’re registering for the first time online or you’ve already registered online, you can pay by Faster Payments, CHAPS or Bacs to HMRC’s account as follows:
| Sort code | Account number | Account name |
|---|---|---|

Your payment may be delayed if you use the wrong reference number.
