    You guys disgust me :):):) I usually do my return in December.

    But, this year I want to rent a flat and as part of the tenancy vetting they want a copy of my tax return to prove I can afford the rent, so I should hurry up and get it done. The last bit of paperwork I needed arrived a few days ago.

    to be honest, and imo, fair, you shouldn't be relying on refunds from Self Assessment to fund your holiday. Perhaps were are due a refund, but certain checks need to take place in order to ensure

    a) the refund is correct, and that you are not potentially been overpaid

    and b), the refund is being issued to the correct person, via the means requested.

    How would you feel if they rushed the refund through and it ended up in the wrong account or to the cheque went to the wrong address

    Maybe I shouldn't, but been doing my tax returns for years now and and not once have I ever had it this late. But like you say that's your opinion. 😉

    Perhaps you haven't been checked in the past .... they cant check every refund, as AFIAK, its done at random

    Still pending....
  • Still pending but they said by the 8th June as another extension then it would have to get processed?
    Now chances are that isn't correct and was fob off tactic but can't work out if that is true why they would hold it till then but have to pay.
    No messages nothing given up ringing now.
    I understand sercurity checks I don't think it's a bad thing I just can't work out how people's that got sent fot them after mine did have got theirs back already. There is no order to them like people have suggested.
    Maybe the person checking mine hasn't been in for a while :rotfl:
