Assessing time limits: IPT limitations: Repayment or refund of over-claimed credit

There are a number of situations in which a person can claim a credit or a repayment. For example, when their entitlement to a credit exceeds their tax liability for an accounting period. The claim is made under FA1994/S55.

If a person makes such a claim and it is credited or paid when it ought not to have been, you can make an assessment to recover the amount wrongly credited or paid.

You can make an assessment to recover the excess amount within 2 years after the time when the evidence of facts sufficient to justify making the assessment comes to your knowledge.

These assessments are made under FA1994/S56(2) for tax and FA1997/SCH5/PARA15(1) for overpaid interest. Interest on these assessments can be assessed under FA1997/SCH5/PARA17(1).

When you make an assessment to recover the amount wrongly credited or paid and further evidence comes to light that the earlier assessment understated the amount due, you may raise another assessment under FA1994/S56(5) on or before the last day on which the original assessment could have been raised.
