DMBM675930 - Summary Proceedings (Sc): “Extra judicial” fees

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.

Any fees (and the related VAT) that are shown as `extra-judicial' on sheriffofficers’ invoices are not chargeable against the debtor and consequently should notbe claimed when seeking decree.

Before either appearing in or minuting the court for decree you should

  • deduct the fees from the invoice total and
  • show the “net” total as your claim for sheriff officer costs.
