2023-24 tax refunds

[bmwmike]

Still haven't had approx 1k refund off HMRC after I submitted my self assessment back in January.

Is anyone else in the same boat? I phoned them, eventually got through, and was told it was "stuck" and they'd raise a form internally for someone to get around to looking at which should be done by July.

I know HMRC are a bit in the st but thats taking the biscuit and dunking it in dog poo surely. Can I expect interest on that payment?

Rant over

Thanks for listening.

Don't you mean 2022-23?

Yes, HMRC are a useless waste of space.

Darn it, yes I got the dates wrong.

Doh!! Can't edit the subject.

Did my 2023/24 self assessment Monday and got my, albeit small, tax refund today.

Presumably you can fine them if they are over 30 days late paying, seeing as how that applies when you owe them money?! No, thought not. Total nightmare of an organisation to deal with, good luck!

Did mine on Monday too. Now having to get the finance together for the o/s tax balance due, which is an almighty 65% higher than for 2022/23, thanks to fiscal drag and the weighted tax regime in the UK.

Likely dependent on size. Small ones paid quickly automatically, large ones need a human to check to make sure they are not being ripped off.

Don't forget there is an extra button to press to "Request a repayment" after you've submitted the return.

I forget every year and only remember when I log in again and go look - I submitted my return on 8th May, and I pressed the button today to get the repayment made. Hopefully it's only a few more days

I submitted my return last Friday and the refund (approx. £2K) was in my account this morning

What was curious though was that unlike last year I didn't have to request the payment - it happened automatically. I think there is a change in the online SA - this year I was able to add my bank a/c details for the refund to the SA prior to submission, whereas last year I was unable to do that.

I didn't see a request a repayment button inside the SA form, but did remember to add my bank details. Inside the portal there is a request a repayment link and it takes me to a page that tells me "Your Self Assessment records show you have no amounts available for repayment.".

Its approx 1k refund, stlll not received it, SA submitted in Jan.

Edit to say I phoned them, and they've said I should have it by end of June.
