IHTM39070 - Correspondence on closed files: Payments and repayments of tax and interest


Revised calculations of tax and interest are issued by the Closed Post Team caseworkers following the standard procedures. However, please note that there are some areas where our instructions differ from the instructions in the IHT Manual

  • Repayments issued by E1s in the Closed Post Team that exceed the E1 limit (IHTM 31603) but are below £60,000, should be passed to a pay band D in the Team, to authorise
  • You must mark any file where a payment/repayment is awaited to the allocation code TSA8P on ALF and ensure that it is also allocated to the Team on Compass.

When files are ready to be closed again, please check that

  • the Sage record balances ( IHTM31895).
  • the case is closed on Compass ( IHTM31270)
  • the file reference is added to the TSA8 case closure list. The TSA8 case closure list is emailed regularly to the Cashiers.
  • Please follow the guidance in the manual chapter on the file procedures mentioned above.
