Bank repayment pending

I'm due a tax refund & it says 'Bank repayment pending' on my account and has done for at least the last 7 days but I haven't received any funds. How long should this usually take?

Hi,

It can take up to 10 working days to process the repayment. If after 10 working days your repayment is still showing as pending then the repayment will have been selected for security checks. These checks can take up to 6 weeks. 

Thank you.

This is still showing as 'bank repayment pending' and it's been like that for more than 2 months, not the 6 weeks you referred to. What security checks and why so long, this is my money & I want it back!

Hi CazM,
If the repayment is still showing as pending then you will need to contact HMRC to review this for you.

Thank you. 

Hi, I hope you are well. I submitted my tax returns over a month ago and still have not received the refund. After multiple hoops on contact numbers, I finally managed to reach an IVR that told me that this would be actioned by 7 August 2024. Last time, this was credited to my HMRC account, and I had to transfer it to my bank account. This time, it said that if you provided bank details, it would be directly credited to my bank account. So neither has happened till now. It's still showing "Repayment Pending". Could you please advise when the amount will be credited back? Thanks

Hi,

If the repayment is still showing as pending then you will need to contact our Self Assessment team review this for you. If the repayment has been selected for security checks then we will be able to provide a timescale for the checks to be completed.
