Disagree with a revenue correction notice

Why you have received a revenue correction notice

If your tax return contains an obvious error or is missing information, HMRC will:

• correct your tax return
• send you a notice telling you why we’ve corrected your tax return

You can tell us you want to reject the revenue correction if you think it’s wrong.

Who can reject a revenue correction

You can reject the revenue correction if you’re the taxpayer named in the notice, or you can authorise an agent to reject it for you.

If you’re a tax agent, you’ll need to be authorised to act on behalf of your client to reject the correction.

Follow the instructions on your revenue correction notice.

You can only use this form to reject your revenue correction if your notice told you about this page.

You can provide evidence to support your rejection of the revenue correction, such as:
