<p>The average time it is taking HMRC to process/issue A1s received online is 15 weeks
as it stands today. HMRC processes 3 different applications forms (CA3822, CA3837
and CA8421) that can result in A1s being issued.</p><p>It is not possible to break
it down to average processing times for each application due to the complexities of
HMRC’s internal digital mail systems.</p><p>In quarter 3, HMRC plans to upskill additional
colleagues to help process the backlog of CA3822s and this will include CA3837s and
CA8421s which will help to reduce processing times.</p><p>HMRC intend to automate
the CA3837 application process in the Autumn which will improve processing times and
remove opportunities for error.</p>
