\n Formal assignments of income tax repayments have been void\u00a0since 15 March 2023. A transitional period during which assignments were treated as nominations ended on 20 July 2023.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n However, ICAEW members and others have reported that problems with repayment agents continue. This issue also featured on BBC\u2019s Morning Live<\/a>, which included an interview with Tax Faculty Board member, Rebecca Benneyworth.<\/p>\n Taxpayers will usually become aware of this problem when they receive a tax calculation (P800) showing that they are due a repayment that will be paid to a third party that they do not recognise. In this situation they should report the problem directly to the relevant HMRC team using the online form<\/a> for reporting problems with repayment agents.<\/p>\n ICAEW\u2019s Tax Faculty has the following recommendations:<\/p>\n ICAEW’s Tax Faculty is recognised internationally as a leading authority and source of expertise on taxation.
