I did my self-assessment tax return at the weekend and was delighted that HMRC owe me a four figure sum for 2016-17. How quick are they to pay their debts to me?
Thanks

if you have over paid by that much you should have been paying more attention...doing your 16/17 return back in April would have got your due return by late April...7 months earlier than submitting now!!
just saying!

One sometimes needs to wait for paperwork.
In past years when I've been due a substantial refund, I've submitted in May or June, being as soon as I had all the relevant data.
A wait of a week is a best case. The other scenario that hit me the first time I had a four-figure refund was a much longer wait and a Kafka-esque quest for information on WTF was going on.
