DMBM618415 - Pre-enforcement: coding out: Self Assessment (SA) and Tax Credit (TC) overpayments: further TC points: customer consent

The majority of this manual will be archived on 30 Apr 2024. If there is content within this manual you use regularly, email hmrcmanualsteam@hmrc.gov.uk to let us know.

TC overpayments can only be coded out with the customer’s consent. However, failure to respond to the notification that the debt is to be coded out will be taken as consent.

A tax credits claimant does have the right to object to having their overpayment coded out.

If we do receive an objection and cancel the coding out, we will always attempt to agree an appropriate time to pay arrangement.
