SAM110040 - Repayments: issue repayment: cancellation of a repayment

Cancelling a repayment on the SA record does not necessarily stop the repayment from being issued. Before cancelling a repayment on the record you must first confirm at what stage the repayment is at within the repayment process.

Where the status of the repayment is shown as 鈥樁侔勾诔兮€�, 鈥槼П鸨舯鸪Τ俦鸹邂€� or 鈥槾〕艹俪蟠前辈醣鸹邂€�, the repayment can be cancelled because it has not yet been transmitted to the SA Repayment System (Repayment Clump) for issue.

Where the status of a repayment is shown as 鈥楾ransmitted鈥� or 鈥槺醪醪醭鼙鸹邂€�, you must not cancel the repayment on the SA record because at this stage it is too late to recall the repayment.

Payable Orders

Where a repayment has been made by payable order and the status of the repayment is shown as 鈥槺醪醪醭鼙鸹邂€�, you should contact HMRC Finance to confirm whether or not the payable order has been cashed.

If the payable order has not been cashed, you should ask HMRC Finance for their authority to cancel the repayment. Where authority is obtained, HMRC Finance will cancel the payable order and you can proceed to cancel the repayment on the SA record.

If the payable order has been cashed, you must not cancel the repayment on the SA record. Any over-repayment must be recovered from the taxpayer by amending the return or by using the DRIER procedures, whichever is appropriate.
