You might think it doesn't matter as long as it all adds up at the end of the year, but what happens is they send increasingly irate late payment demands for money you've already paid. It always worries me that too many of these ends up in a PAYE investigation, and we all know what tends to come after one of those.
Or maybe it's just me.
I've never had a problem with paying online. In fact, I've never done anything else."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

Just switched from monthly / cheques PAYE to quarterly online payments and have a question.
I know in the reference for online banking I need to state my 13 PAYE number but I'm reading different things about needing to add the quarter end date at the end so in this case its 1206. HMRC online says you need to add the date if your paying early so in the case of this quarter payment is due 22nd Oct and early is before the 5th Oct HMRC its not clear though if you need to add it if you pay after the 5th, do people still add the date even if the pay after the 5th or does it cause issues ?Comment

Don't need to send in the yellow slip - just make sure your on line payment includes your tax reference number from the front of the yellow book.
I pay quarterly and don't break down the tax/NI. I just pay the lump sum due each quarter.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

Yes, the NI and PAYE payments are all the same to the HMRC in terms of how they collect payment from you. Just pay across as a single lump sum. There shouldn't be anyone making monthly NI/PAYE payments if your monthly payments are less that £1,500....well, having said that, you can if you want to, but its just extra admin. Contact your PAYE office, tell them you will be making quarterly payments going forward, and then set a reminder in your calendar for 05 Jul, 05 Oct, 05 Jan, and 05 Apr each year to pay any PAYE/NI due.
If you don't need to make any PAYE/NI payments at all, but still need to advise the HMRC of a nil return each quarter you can;
(1) Tell them online at HM Revenue & Customs: No PAYE/NICs payment due
(2) Or call your PAYE office and tell them to put your business on the annual PAYE scheme - then the HMRC will only expect to receive a payment from you once a year (after 05 Apr)
For payment references, if your payment is going to reach the HMRC by the due date, there is no need to append the four more digits to the end of your payment reference. As malvolio points out, you can do this - there is nothing wrong with it, but its not necessary. If you always make your payment by the due date then you can always use the same reference number, which just makes things ever so slightly easier. To be fair the only time you should ever need to append four digits to the end of your payment reference is when paying your Class 1A NIC calculated from the P11D. For more info on the elusive four digits take a look at HM Revenue & Customs: How to pay PAYE/Class 1 National Insurance contributions
Regarding the yellow PAYE books - if you are still getting one, call your tax office and ask them to stop sending it to you. You don't need them anymore.2012 CUK Reader Awards - '...Capital City Accountancy, all of whom were outside the top three yet still won compliments from CUK readers for their services' - well, its not an award, but we'll take it! - Best Accountant (for IT contractors) category
