Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask His Majesty's Government what is the average length of time taken by HMRC to process tax payments.
Answered by Baroness Vere of Norbiton - Parliamentary Secretary (HM Treasury)
The average time taken to process tax payments is two working days. This is from the date the customer makes payment to the date it is shown on the customer’s HMRC record (plus postage time if the customer pays by cheque).
