About this analysis

The Mirror reports HMRC's plan to replace twice-yearly payments on account with smaller, more regular payments from April 2029, giving a tax barrister's advice and HMRC's own explanation at length. It attributes its claims, says plainly that the change alters when tax is paid rather than how much is owed, and keeps the uncertainty about the payment schedule.

What it gets right

  • “The Government has confirmed that the reform will change the timing of payments rather than increase the overall amount of tax owed.”

    The Mirror states plainly, with attribution, that the change concerns timing and not the amount of tax, which keeps readers from thinking they face a tax rise.

  • “the exact frequency of payments has not yet been finalised, with further details expected in 2027”

    The article keeps the uncertainty about the payment schedule rather than presenting details as settled.
