answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2020 answer text <p>Overpayments are a feature of the annualized tax credits system. Figures for the value of overpayments relating to 2019-20 tax credits awards will not be known until all awards have been finalised in January 2021. <br></p><p>The most recent estimate of overpayments relates to the 2017-18 award year and can be found in the following publication.</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/child-and-working-tax-credits-statistics-finalised-annual-awards-supplement-on-payments-2017-to-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/child-and-working-tax-credits-statistics-finalised-annual-awards-supplement-on-payments-2017-to-2018</a></p><p> </p><p>In this year, 1.45 million tax credits awards had an overpayment at the point of finalisation. The total value of overpayments was £1.55 billion.</p><p>Estimates of the average value of repayments in each of the last 12 months are not readily available. Tax credits repayments are repaid through a number of routes, including through the Universal Credit (UC) system. Information on the monthly value of all these repayments could only be collected at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>For the year 2017/18, HMRC received repayments of £1.29bn. These repayments were made on overpayments from all previous award years. On top of this, £188m of tax credits overpayments transferred to DWP as customers migrated to UC.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 07/01/2020 10:33:42 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
