Why do you recommend paying by Direct Debit?
We recommend that you use Direct Debit (also known as Electronic Funds Withdrawal) because it's the safest and simplest method to pay your taxes.
If you choose one of the other methods to pay your tax due, you'll need to make the payment on your own later. We'll give you the information you need, but you'll either need to mail in your payment (if you want to use the payment voucher) or process your payment through a third party (if you want to pay with a credit card or cash).
If you choose Direct Debit, you can file your taxes today and choose a payment date between now and April 15, 2026.
