Tax ammendment: time scales?

Dear members,

Has anybody on this forum successfully managed to get their previous tax returns amended by the Hmrc? If so, what are the approximate timescales?

Just curious, because a friend of mine wrote to the Hmrc to amend his 2010/11 tax returns in July this year, but they have not yet been amended.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Did he chased hmrc about it? I mean did he call to get an update?

they normally take 8-12 weeks, but If you chase them up could
quick .

HMRC is working on 24 weeks timescale .. Chasing may bring it down to 16 weeks ... Anything earlier than that you are very lucky .

Thank you all for your feedback.

I did mine for 2010-11. Letter sent 9/11/15. Amenmends done on 2/12/15. They took 22 days.

how many calls you made to HMRC and did you speak to supervisor there or manager>

Could you please tell the process you followed.

some thing unrealistic happened in his case

Agree with tuntun. Something extraordinary happened my case. Even person who advised me, he had to wait for 2 months. I made 2 phone calls but amendments were completed before my second phone call as date on letter is 2/12/15.

what did you sent them - Accounts +letter?

Hello all,

Has anyone else had any success in getting their tax returns from 2010/2011 amended recently. I have a feeling that HMRC will not be responding to the pending requests until end of Jan-2016.
If anyone knows a way to somehow persuade HMRC to process the amendment any sooner please do assist.

Thanks!

Yes i believe they are giving Jan 2016 deadline to every one. Do not know why

Thanks
