Amend a return or request a repayment

If there has been an error which meant you did not pay enough Bingo Duty, you should make an adjustment on your next return.

If the error resulted in you paying too much, you can request a repayment by writing to the Excise Processing Team.

Read Excise Notice 212: statutory interest and repayment of overpaid Excise Duty for more information on how to request a repayment.
