2022-23 refunds?

Hi, I am due a refund of £900 approx from my 2022-23 tax return. Will that be sent automatically or do I have to "claim" it? I am sure that last year my refund was sent automatically as a cheque in the post. I do not want it added to my 23-24 tax code. Thanks.

I have an amount due for repayment "HM Revenue and Customs will add this amount to your Self Assessment statement of account" and I jumped through all the hoops for identity verification, which is BIZARRE consideration i'm already authenticated to the HMRC self assessment portal, but I guess HMRC either don't want to refund or they don't trust their own authentication - anyway, when I get to the refund portal it says that I have nothing owing? Where is the refund, and why can't it just be sent in the post as per previous years?

Hi,

The refund will be released automatically as long as the relevant boxes were completed in the repayment section when you filled in your 2023 tax return.

Thank you.
