What is a payment on account?

Payments on account are required from a taxpayer if their total assessed income tax and NIC is greater than £500 for the preceding tax year (£1,000 from 6 April 2009). If this is the case then two payments on account will have to be made, each to the value of half the previous year’s tax liability. These payments are due in January and July of each year.
