It doesn’t really effect me , but thanks for the information El Loro 

The changes will affect many people particarly those who have always paid at the post office, and in January when they go in to pay are told the news,

I suspect eventually it will become mandatory to pay by online banking.

Yes, which I find worrying ....as a lot of people ....particularly perhaps my generation and older ...still don’t use online banking 

At least for the time being people can send a cheque through the post to HMRC (for personal tax) or at their bank (provided they've got an official payslip from HMRC) but for how long will they be able to.

The hardest hit will be those members clubs, some of which have to pay corporation tax. That won't be many but they aren't allowed to pay through the post. HMRC have stopped sending them payslips so they can't pay at the bank. They won't be able to use a credit card as they can at present. They will be forced to use online banking and for that type of organisation, online banking will be a complete mystery.
