ERODG3800 - Claims for excise duty where there has been an error by HMRC: what amount should be repaid
»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýappre are three possible scenarios that may arise as a result of error on our behalf. »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýappse are
| Type of payment by claimant | Amount payable by HMRC |
|---|---|
| »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp person pays directly to us an amount by way of excise duty, that would not have been paid but for the error | In this scenario we may pay an amount equal to the excise duty that would not have been paid had it not been for the error |
| »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp person pays for goods, which includes an amount that represents “excise dutyâ€� which would not have been included but for the error | This scenario will arise when goods purchased by the claimant will have included an amount that reflects the duty paid status of the goods. In such cases we may pay the claimant an amount that appears to be equal to the excise duty element of the retail price of the goods |
| »Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp person due to an error has been unable to use rebated oil and has used unrebated oil instead | In this scenario we may pay an amount equivalent to the rebate that would have been allowable |
