How do I follow up with HMRC on my SEIS - EIS application?

Follow up with HMRC on your Advance Assurance or Compliance application with these contact details. 

When to follow up with HMRC on your application: 

Please note, HMRC can take up to 7 weeks to respond to an Advance Assurance or Compliance application. Whilst this is usually much quicker, please wait for the 7 weeks prior to sending a follow up. 

The next step would be to check any possible address HMRC may have sent a response to. This would include the registered address at Companies House, with an accountant, your spam folder etc...

That said, if there's still no sign of a reply, there's 2 ways to follow up:

1. By email

The best way to contact HMRC to follow up with your application is by reaching out to them over email. 

The email address is enterprise.centre@hmrc.gov.uk

Please note that HMRC may take up to 2 weeks to reply to email follow ups.

2. By phone

Alternatively, HMRC also have a telephone answering machine. (This is no longer a direct line). You can leave a message, and they will determine whether a call back is needed. 

The phone number is 0300 123 3440.

Please note, we generally see that emails are replied to faster than phone messages.
