How long will my repayment take?
If you ask for your repayment online HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) aims to issue your repayment within 2 weeks. But due to the security checks that are in place to protect you from fraud it may take slightly longer. So, please allow up to 4 weeks before contacting HMRC about your request.
Only submit your request for repayment once - this will allow HMRC to reply quicker.
