I agree with previous responses. Repayment should be received in a few days, on basis that you gave your Bank details.Check on-line and it will show when payment changes from pending to issued. Alternatively, sometimes you have to request the repayment, (unlikely in your scenario) but this will also be clear when you log in and you can do this on-line very simply. You will not have to wait until 31 January 2015!
Thanks for the steer. "Tolley Guidance" cite the case of R Morgan V HMRC which was upheld that HMRC had failed to issue a notice (daily penalties) in accordance with relevant legislation and therefore this gave rise to special circumstances and hence reasonable excuse. I am therefore going to appeal along these lines.
For Shogun - Sorry if you felt I highjacked your question, given the thread was similar I thought people might answer both. In fact just as ACDweb did - and thank you for your response.
To J Cresswell Tax - your point is noted, but really is there any need to be so sarcastic?
I have a new client who failed to file last two years self assessment (self employed, CIS) and has racked up £1600 of late payment fees including daily fees. His accounts have now been filed and tax refund due on both years. Are there any grounds to appeal these punitive late payment fees? His wife was unwell during this time with a serious but not life threatening illness. Any ideas?
