HMRC Updates Tax Refund Timelines

HMRC has new tax refund information.

HMRC gave an update on tax refunds. They talked about important dates.

A taxpayer asked about a late refund on social media. They applied on April 20 and were supposed to get a reply by May 31. They saw the refund in their account but not in their bank. HMRC asked if they needed to send more information.

The taxpayer said no and asked why they hadn't gotten a refund yet. HMRC explained the rules.

HMRC said they have security to protect customers, which can cause delays. They might need 12 more weeks to send refunds after May 4, 2026.

Refunds can show in your account before they are sent. HMRC gave a link to a government page with more information.

The taxpayer asked HMRC to check if they got the refund request. This happens every year.

The taxpayer said they call HMRC, and they apologize and send the refund. It arrives in three days, but the wait time is too long.

HMRC gave new information.

HMRC told the taxpayer to write to them about the issue. The taxpayer asked for an email address to contact them directly.

HMRC said to write to them by post instead.
