Not only is it post-Christmas, but it\u2019s also when <strong>Self Assessment (SA) tax payments<\/strong> are due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your bill feels higher than expected, there are legitimate, HMRC-approved ways to <strong>reduce your January SA payments<\/strong> and in some cases, spread the cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why January SA payments can be high<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your January tax bill might include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Balance payment<\/strong> for the previous tax year<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>First Payment on Account<\/strong> for the current tax year (if applicable)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Payments on account are advance payments towards your next tax bill, based on your previous year\u2019s tax. This can make your January payment almost double what you expect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ways to reduce your January SA payments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
