People who have been self-employed for some time will know that tax payments on account are made in January and July each year. The second payment on account for every year will be due by 31 July.
If your self-employed income and other untaxed income this year was greater than last year, then it is likely that the amount requested for this July is correct. Payments on account are always based on the previous year’s liability unless you are able to apply to reduce them. (They are never increased if income increases – you’ll just pay a balance at the end of the year if that is the case).
However, if this year’s untaxed income was less than the year before, you may not need to pay as much as you go along.
