Paying income tax on account
My tax return for 10-11 is now all finally sorted and ready to be paid.
Since going self employed from leaving the Army this is actually the first year I've had to pay Tax
No problem with the amount owing but they've asked me to pay tax on account to HMRC.
So it's my outstanding tax bill plus a 50% projection on next years by 31 Jan 12. Then another 50% by 31 July 12.
Is this normal to pay a projected figure in advance of next years accounts or are my accountants just trying to soften the blow?

Normal practice I'm afraid
I think you can apply for exemption but I'm not sure under what circumstances (presumably if you're planning to sell or scale back the business) but if it's all systems go for 2012-13 then it's hand in pocket time.

Thanks Martin,
Thought it was probably the norm as my accountants are spot on. Just wanted to double check.
