Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent steps his Department has taken to ensure that businesses receive any refunds or rebates from HMRC in a timely manner.

HMRC’s processes are designed to ensure that customers who are owed money can get that money back as quickly as possible subject to the requirements of legislation and security. Those processes are regularly reviewed to ensure that there are no unnecessary delays built into them.
