To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department undertook a consultation on the use of the Post Office to pay self assessment tax bills ahead of the decision to remove that service on 15 December 2017.
Answered on
14 December 2017
The facility to pay HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) at the Post Office in its current format is being withdrawn by the service provider Santander. HMRC are not the only users of this service and had no influence on this decision or the timing of the withdrawal.
