HMRC will charge interest daily, from the date a payment is due and payable to the date it is paid in full.
Accruing Interest and the Business Tax Dashboard
Employers will be able to see an estimate of the interest building up on the Business Tax Dashboard.
Please note that:
Accrued interest is only a guide to what may be due. HMRC will only seek payment of interest when the amount due is settled. The Business Tax Dashboard will only show interest as accruing in the current month, regardless of when the payment was due. It will show interest as accruing from the 19th of each month, regardless of how the employer pays. Employers who pay electronically should not worry if they see an accrued interest entry between 19th and 22nd of a month. Once the electronic payment is received, the calculation will correctly use the 22nd as the due date, and any interest charge generated between the 19th and 22nd will be cancelled. Currently, there is an HMRC systems error which results in the Business Tax Dashboard showing interest accruing despite the employer having submitted an EPS that clears the original charges. This error will be corrected shortly. In the meantime, HMRC will not pursue this charge and employers do not need to contact HMRC about this.

As well as looking for ways of improving the system, they also want to hear what people think are the good features of our tax system. After all, they may provide lessons for improving other areas.
This project has been going for some weeks now and one immediate point to emerge is that they cannot consider the competitiveness of the UK’s tax administration solely in terms of
