Top tips: correcting and amending tax returns
A tax return can be amended for up to 12 months following the submission deadline. You will want to make an amendment in order to correct a return, as well as to change any claim that is required to be made by return, such as a claim for losses or capital allowances.
Overpayment Relief may apply if you are amending claims outside the 12-month limit. Note the restrictions for claims made in returns.
The four-year Time limits for tax assessments, claims and refunds took effect from 1 April 2010.
