Awaiting tax refund

halphy

I filed my husbands tax return on the 25th May, he was self employed from Apr 09 to Sept 09, then employed up until the end of tax year 10. I added employment to his tax return and came out he was due £755 back as overpaid.

I called today as still no refund has gone in to his bank, the message on the line says refunds are taking up to 4 weeks, anyome waited that long?.

I filed a SA online last month for a friend and it was in his bank 5 working days later!

MY wife submitted a claim for overpayment
It has taken just over 6 weeks to get a cheque out of HMRC!

It is a scam.

Forward the email to phishing@hmrc.gsi.gov.uk

How can you possibly say that without knowing an individual's full tax affairs?

Some where on this forum there is a list of the items of unhandled mail by tax office last autumn.

The Northern offices seemed to have greater backlogs than the Southern ones - Cardiff was coping particularly well if I remember correctly.

The message on the IVR relates to claims for PAYE refunds, these are currently taking about 4 weeks from referral/receipt for refund or correspondence to occur.


Self assessment refunds submitted on-line are normally refunded within 10 days, unless selected for security checks. then upto 4 or 8 weeks or even never if there are irregularities
