“There is no such thing as a good tax.” – Winston Churchill. Yet here we are, — faced with one all the same. If you’re self-employed or earning extra income outside your 9 to 5, Self Assessment tax is something you can’t afford to ignore. It’s not just a form to fill in. It’s a legal obligation — with real cash flow consequences if you miss it, misjudge it, or misunderstand it. But here's the good news: paying your tax bill doesn't have to be stressful. It doesn't have to be last-minute. And it definitely doesn't have to come with a side order of panic. In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to pay Self Assessment tax with clarity — not confusion. You’ll learn what to expect, when to act, and the smartest way to pay (including a method that takes less than 60 seconds). We’ll also unpack hidden traps like payments on account, how to avoid penalties, and what to do if your cash flow’s tight. Read on — your future self (and your bank balance) will thank you.
