Tax Amendment

Postby kumar0909 » Wed Sep 14, 2016 9:43 pm

Hi ,

I have send amended tax returns on April and amendments are not been worked out yet. All they keep saying is special team is looking in to it and they don't have special time frame for that. Can you tell me how did you manage to get your amendments done, on which number to call?

Appreciate any one help on this?

Thanks

Hello Kumar

You need to hang in tough with this one, as long as hmrc advise they have received the info and will look at it "at some unknown time in the future" its normally a case of wait and see.

If you are suffering financial hardship due to the fact hmrc are taking unreasonable amounts of time - this could be a reason to ask hmrc to speed up their process.

This is the one hmrc department (paper return issues) that probably have the longest time lag at present to do their thing.

It depends what you want to achive with the amendments. A return can only be amended within a short time-frame: no later than 12 months after the filing date.

If you are advising that there is more tax to pay, HMRC will need to make assesments and consider whether penalties are due for the inaccurate returns you submitted.

If you are saying that you have overpaid tax, you will need to submit a cliam for overpayment relief.
