Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many local revenue offices have informed tax payers that they should not expect tax repayment that they are owed until September, and for what reasons.

HMRC covers a wide range of taxes where refunds may be made. These include, for example, Income Tax (both Pay As You Earn and Self Assessment), Corporation Tax, Stamp Duty Land Tax, Value Added Tax (with a number of different regimes in use), Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax.

The speed of repayment, and our service level agreements (SLAs) for speed of repayment, varies across different areas.
