How long for HMRC to come back to me?

[Mattt]

I put in a p50 claim for income tax repayment a couple of weeks back, but have heard nothing since - any ideas on timescale?

How long is a piece of string?

It may be worthwhile giving them a call to see where matters have progressed to.

Agreed!

Funnily enough, if anyone remembers all the hassle with the HMRC giving out wrongful fines....


...I got the confirmation that my appeal was accepted and my fine was zero on Friday. Did the fines go out in February!?

Along similar lines, how long until your VAT refund comes through?

[Eric Mc]

The PAYE fines were sent out in mid March. Expect the same carry on next year.

VAT refunds are usually processed fairly quickly, within a few weeks,
