Annual declaration and payment of fees
If you're registered with HMRC you must:
- submit an annual declaration that all your details and information are correct
and up to date
- pay an annual fee for anti-money laundering supervision
You will receive a message to your online account 30 days before your annual
declaration and fee payment is due. This message will tell you the steps you need to
take to make sure your registration continues.
You will receive an email to let you know that:
- the message has been sent to your online account
- you need to log into your online account using your Government Gateway user ID
to view the message
AML Protect is designed to cover you in case the email gets to spam or the
designated contact is no longer with the business.
You will need to complete the following 2 stage process to submit your declaration and
pay your fee.
Stage 1 — submit your declaration
You need to check that all your details and information in your account are up to date. If
any of your details have changed, you will need to update them before submitting your
declaration.
You need to select the 'submit' button to submit your declaration.
Stage 2 — pay your fee
After you have submitted your declaration, you will receive:
- a confirmation of the annual fee amount that is payable
- a payment reference number — this must be quoted when you pay your annual
fee
If you pay your fee without quoting your payment reference number, HMRC may not be
able to match the payment to your business. This may lead to your fee being shown as
unpaid and your registration being cancelled.
If you do not complete your annual declaration and pay your annual fee on time,
your registration will be cancelled. Both stages must be completed in order for you
to remain registered.

how to pay your fees for money laundering supervision.

If your registration is cancelled and you need to register, then you will need to:
- Sign into your online account.
- Complete a new application.
- Pay the annual supervision fee.
