Details

Use form APSS 106 if you’re a pension scheme administrator to make an annual claim for recovery of tax deducted by individuals.

If HMRC has repaid your interim repayment claims

If you’re making a claim for a tax year in which HMRC has repaid your interim claims, your form must:

  • reach us by 5 October following the end of that tax year (for example, HMRC must receive your form by 5 October 2026 for the tax year ending on 5 April 2026)
  • account for all payments made for that tax year (including excess relief payments on interim claims)

If you did not make an interim repayment claim

You can submit your form at any time within 6 tax years after the end of that tax year (for example, you have until 5 April 2032 to submit your claim for the tax year ending on 5 April 2026).

If you discover a mistake on an annual claim

If you find an error in a claim you’ve already made, submit a supplementary annual claim using a new APSS 106 to account for this.

Email HMRC to ask for the form in Welsh.

Use form APSS 105 to make an interim claim for recovery of tax deducted by individuals.
