Pay annual tax on enveloped dwellings
How to pay annual tax on enveloped dwellings (ATED) and how long it takes for your payment to reach HMRC.
You may need to pay annual tax on enveloped dwellings (ATED) if your company, partnership or collective investment scheme owns, either completely or partly, residential property worth more than £500,000.
You must declare any gains on your company’s Corporation Tax return. If you do not already submit a Corporation Tax return, you must register a non-resident company for Corporation Tax.
When to pay
You must submit your return and pay any tax due by the deadline.
The ATED payment date is the same as the filing date of your return, which is normally 30 April within the chargeable period.
Where the filing date falls after 30 April in the chargeable period the payment date is that later filing date.
If the deadline is on a weekend or bank holiday, make sure your payment reaches HMRC by the end of the previous working day.
If you do not pay by the deadline, you may need to pay a penalty, interest or both.
What you need
You need your 14-character reference number starting with X.
You can find this on the letter or email HMRC sent to you after receiving your return or summary.
If you use an incorrect reference number, there will be a delay in the payment being allocated correctly.
Pay online
You can approve a payment through your online bank account.
Paying online through your bank account
You can pay by approving a payment through your online bank account by selecting the ‘pay by bank account’ option.
You will be directed to sign in to your online or mobile banking account to approve your payment.
You will need to have your online banking details to hand to pay this way.
The payment is usually instant but can take up to 2 hours to show in your bank account.
Pay by bank transfer
If you pay by CHAPS (Clearing House Automated Payment System) or Faster Payments, your payment will be received on the same or next working day.
If you pay by Bacs (Bankers Automated Clearing System), allow 3 working days for the payment to reach HMRC.
We recommend you check your bank’s processing times and maximum transaction limits before you pay.
