Tax arrangements

Advance tax arrangement
The advance taxpaying arrangement covers all personal taxpayers in income year t. Personal taxpayers pay taxes in advance, either as advance tax deduction or pay-as-you-earn.

The arrangement also includes employers' national insurance contributions and taxes on dividends to foreign shareholders.
