Form: Excise movements: claim for repayment of Excise Duty (HM6)

You can claim a repayment of Excise Duty if you’ve already told us about the overpayment on your return, and it can’t be offset on a future return.

To complete this form you may need a:

• VAT registration number (If applicable)
• deferment approval number (DAN)

You can either:

• use the online form service (sign in to, or set up a Government Gateway account)
• fill in the form on-screen, print and post to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC)

If you use the online form, you’ll get a reference number that you can use to track the progress of your form.

Before you start

You may need to give HMRC extra information to support your application.

Apply online

Fill in and submit the form online (you’ll need to log into your tax account). You’ll need to attach your business plan if you aren’t already an established large business with an HMRC Customer Relationship Manager. This should be in JPEG or PDF format, and a maximum of 5MB.

To use a different DAN, you will need to complete an authority to use another trader’s Deferment Approval Number (HM8) and attach it to this form as a JPEG or PDF.

You’ll get a unique reference number when you submit the form online.

You can track the progress of the form online using the same reference number.

Apply by post

Fill in the form on-screen, print it off and send it to us along with any extra information.

If you post the form you can’t track its progress online.

You’ll need to fill in the form fully before you can print it. You can’t save a partly completed form so you should have all the information you’ll need with you before you start to fill it in.
