Hi,
Is anyone encountering issues for clients that have recently went self employed and are receiving a self assessment repayment.
HMRC are asking them to complete a repayment questionaire yet some clients have not received the questionaire and HMRC are taking 6 months to send another one (which still hasn't been issued), and other clients have returned the letter 6 months ago and it hasn't been actioned by HMRC and they advised they are not giving a timescale to when they are going to process them.
Thanks in advance

Not come across this myself, but may be worth a call to the Agents Line and chase the repayments, or at least find out exactly what is holding them up and their proposed timeframe for dealing with.
I have a case, HMRC have asked for driving licence, birth certificate, bank statements & CIS deduction certificates for whole of 2020/21, within 30 days of date of letter.
Client had just moved house & took about 8 weeks to get back to me - HMRC have cancelled repayment & closed self-assessment records! I am hoping that this will be reversed once they look at information sent as client is a subcontractor & does need to complete tax returns each year.
Thanks for your very helpful response.
The real question I want to find out is how did you reply to my post and dreaming/sleeping at the same time?
