Initial action

  • The overpayment appears on the LOPU (Overpayments Review List) work list
 

Note: Where the overpayment was created as the result of carry-back or S458 CTA 2010 (formerly S419(4) ICTA 1988) relief, ask the responsible CT office to deal with the overpayment

 
 
  • The payment was incorrectly allocated
2. If none of the above conditions apply
 
  • Refer the correspondence or enquiry to the responsible CT office or Debt Management Office as appropriate

Reallocation will create an overpayment on the receiving AP

4. If the receiving AP is, or will become, overpaid as a result of a reallocation
 
  • Use Function RAPP (Revise AP Pursuit) to set the Inhibit Reallocation and Repayment signal to ‘Y’ on the receiving AP before making the reallocation
 

Note: You cannot make a superseded AP overpaid

5. If the receiving AP has no tax charge and the normal due date has passed
 
  • Check that the company agrees the proposed reallocation before proceeding

Consideration of Repayment Interest (RPI)

6. Where no repayment interest (Word 81.5kb) (RPI) is due on the amount to be reallocated, for example, you are correcting an incorrect payment allocation
 
  • Use Function REAW ‘Reallocate a specific payment’ option
 
  • Write to the company explaining how the payment has been reallocated
