I think because it is classed as a debt and not tax that the 6 year limit applies. Is this re working tax credit? My sister in law has had a long battle with them over a similar old claim because they paid her too much in error some of which did she pay back, she has just managed to get it resolved and they have not only given up but have now repaid her what she paid back!

Tax system - joined up ?

Ask to see the relevant calculation and figures supporting the demand.

If true, also indicate that since HMRC have had all relevant tax and income information for the relevant years, they have had plenty of chance to correct this in one way or another since then.

This position was made clear on each enquiry; each time a request was made back to them to provide details to support the "demand". Eventually the calls stopped.

Something called "tax credit" should be tied into the tax system ...
