Over Paid Self Assessment

When I look at the current position on my self assessment it says that I have overpaid £5500 and it is available for repayment. It also on the same page says £5500 will be due 31 Jul 2023. Will HMRC automatically take that money I have available or do I need to take it as repayment and then pay that money back in again?

Hi andrew waldorf

As we are before the due date you can request the money back as a repayment.
Or you can leave it on your account and it will automatically be allocated closer to the due date.
Thank you.
