  If you receive a reply to your email from RST advising you that the ASC signal has been removed and is no longer appropriate, and the address continues to be RLS, follow the guidance at step 13, or 16, as appropriate
15. Where a new address is not found and the No Repayment signal (NRS) is set as well as the RLS signal, you first need to establish the reason the No Repayment signal is set by checking SA Notes

  If SA Notes state that the NRS has been set, but not by RST, you must
 
  • Delete the work list item
 
  • Make an SA Note ‘W030 entry deleted. Case RLS’
16. Where a new address is not found and the case appears on W030 for RLS plus other reasons (excluding ASC or NRS), follow the W030 guidance given for that particular reason.
  If by following that guidance you are advised to create the repayment you will be unable to do this because the case continues to be RLS. In these circumstances you must
 
  • Delete the work list item
 
  • Make an SA Note ‘W030 entry deleted. Case RLS’
17. When a new address is found whilst reviewing the work list entry you must
 
  • Use TBS to update the taxpayer’s address (the SA record will be updated over night)
 
  • On the next working day, check the address has been updated and check that, where the case appears on W030 for any other reason, the relevant guidance has been followed
 
  • If so, use function ISSUE REPAYMENT FROM OVERPAID BALANCE to repay all or part of the credit balance from the SA record. More detailed advice on making repayment is provided in subject ‘Issue Repayment’ (SAM110000 onwards)
 
  • Delete the work list item
  Note: It may be that a new address is found at a later date. Once the correct address has been entered on TBS and has updated the SA record, this will ensure that a correct statement is issued. The statement will advise the customer of any credit on record and the customer will be able to claim that credit in the normal way.

No Repayment signal set by Repayment Security Team

(This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)
33. View 'Individual Compliance Signals' using function VIEW COMPLIANCE SUMMARY and select 'Other Sigs' to confirm whether the 'No repayment' signal was set because the result of the Automatic Verification of CIS deductions was one of the following
 
  • 'Fail - can't find CIS record'. Go to step 33
 
  • 'Fail - no vouchers posted'. Go to step 34
 
  • 'Fail - insufficient vouchers posted'. Go to step 34
34. Where the result is 'Fail - can't find CIS record'
 
  • Check Free Format notes to confirm whether the following note is shown 'SA record dealing with BY (UTR……..)'
  If this note is shown, it indicates that the current SA record is a post BY record and that the reason for the CIS failure is that the payment details have been filed correctly under the pre BY UTR but cannot be matched to the post BY UTR
 
  • The pre bankruptcy record should be viewed to confirm that the BY signal is set. The CIS check result on the 'SA Comparison' screen should be updated to 'Pass - Clerical Review', the 'No repayment' signal unset and the repayment created and issued
  If this note is not shown
(This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)
 
  • Create the repayment on the SA record
 
  • Unset the ‘No repayment’ signal (unless it has been set for some other reason, check SA Notes and follow the SAM guidance as appropriate)

  • Delete the work item from the work list
35. Where the result is 'Fail - no vouchers posted' or 'Fail - insufficient vouchers posted'
 
  • Deal with the work item in accordance with the guidance held in the W030 Controlled Access Folder (CAF). Access to the guidance in this CAF is restricted and only available to operators dealing with W030 work items. Any queries regarding this restricted guidance or access to this CAF should be sent using the mailbox BusinessUserSupport, SA (PSN), headed ‘W030 Restricted Guidance’
36. Where the 'No repayment' signal was not set because of a CIS deduction check failure, view SA Notes to identify the reason why the signal was set
37. Where the signal was set because there is a non SA debt outstanding (for example Class 2 NIC and so on)
  Contact Worcester Recovery by WAM (address your WAM to ‘Receivables Management Coventry Recovery’) to confirm the details of the debt(s) outstanding. (Worcester Recovery is the SPOC (Single Point of Contact) within DMB for all SA queries)
 
  • Ask Worcester Recovery office to confirm that they are not pursuing any debts which could also be cleared by set off. (Debts pursued by Debt Management Unit (Tyneside) do not appear on IDMS)
 
  • When details of the total debts are obtained, the relevant amount of the overpayment should be transferred from the SA record to OAS and a form SA331 (available for completion and printing from SEES) completed providing allocation instructions to the relevant Banking Operations office
38. Following set-off, the taxpayer should be advised in writing that we have set off all or part of their SA overpayment against their other HMRC debt(s) and provide details of the set-off(s) made. Due to a change in policy in the Finance Act 2008, we are no longer required to obtain the taxpayer’s consent before making a set-off to other heads of duty
39. If there are no other inhibiting factors, the 'No repayment' signal should be unset and any remaining overpayment should be repaid as requested by the taxpayer
40. Where the 'No repayment' signal was set because of a reason other than a CIS deduction check failure, say because there is a Class 2 NIC debt outstanding or there is an open enquiry
 
  • Contact the office that set the signal to obtain authority to proceed with repayment
 
  • Where there is an open enquiry, you should contact the enquiry officer dealing with the enquiry which should be recorded in SA notes, to obtain authority to proceed with repayment
 
  • The next action will depend on whether authority is provided or denied
 
  • Where repayment authority is provided, use function ISSUE REPAYMENT FROM OVERPAID BALANCE to repay all or part of a credit balance from the SA system. More detailed advice on making repayment is provided in section ‘Issue Repayment’ (SAM110000 onwards)
 
  • Where repayment authority is denied the office that set the signal should write to the taxpayer and explain why the repayment request has been refused

Note: Where the signal has been set because an in-year repayment (or set-off) has been made, that is in trivial commutation, subcontractor or permanent cessation cases, examine the return to confirm it correctly records the in-year repayment (or set-off)

  If the amount is correctly recorded
 
  • Unset the No repayment signal providing it is not set for any other reason
  If the amount is incorrectly recorded
 
  • Refer the case for enquiry in accordance with office procedures
     
    And

Inhibited SAR repayment requests - Where you have confirmed that the repayment can now be issued but you are unable to do so because the bank details provided are not displayed in the automatic SA note for the SAR (SAM110250), you must contact the customer to request the correct bank account details to enable the repayment to be made by BACS. You must write to the customer, attaching form R38 (SEES Tax claim) advising that the form needs to be completed to enable us to deal with the repayment. The form R38 can be found in SEES, under Forms and Letters. The customer must provide this information in writing for the repayment to be made.
