Self-assessment: Repayments

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the current average processing time is for amended paper self-assessment tax returns resulting in repayments.

Answer

HMRC does not hold this information in a readily accessible format. The information requested could only be obtained through the manual review of individual records, and the cost of doing so would exceed the disproportionate cost threshold.
