Illustration for Tax Administration Act 1994

You need to have a bank account to get tax credits paid by instalments. You must give the Commissioner your bank account details. The account can be with a registered bank, a building society, the Public Service Investment Society Limited, or a credit union. You can use an existing account or open a new one. The Commissioner will pay tax credits into this account. The account must be with a registered bank as defined in section 2 of the Banking (Prudential Supervision) Act 1989, or with a building society, the Public Service Investment Society Limited, or a credit union as defined in section 2 of the Friendly Societies and Credit Unions Act 1982. The Commissioner pays every instalment of tax credit into your account.
