The guidance includes information on:

  • entering into an agreement

  • how to pay an agreement

  • common errors and risks

  • calculating the amount to pay

  • what to do if you’ve made a mistake.

HMRC has also added information on how to get a PSA online under the section ‘How to enter an agreement’ in the guidance. The online service can also be used to cancel or amend a PSA. HMRC has clarified the information under ‘How to pay an agreement’.
