Tax rebate

Options
My daughter applied for a tax rebate some 5 weeks ago.she phoned hmrc today and was told she would have to wait until 6th April. Is this the norm? The gov.uk website says a rebate will be paid within 5 weeks of applying.

Thanks in advance

    the tax year ends on the 5th April, until then they cannot be 100% sure of the final income for the year...she could still earn more this year
  • But there are some tax repayments which can be claimed before the tax year ends.

    How did she claim/apply? Was a particular form filled in?

    She applied on line P800 and was given a reference number etc and a response saying they will be in touch
  • P800 is a calculation HMRC send out not a form for applying for a refund.

    Did she receive a P800 showing a refund was due then go online to provide bank account details for the refund to be paid into her account?

    Not sure. I think I will get her to call them again to confirm she has definitely made a claim for the tax refund.
