HMRC's 41% rejection rate for 2025-26 is the highest in five years, up from 34% the year before, according to data obtained by law firm BCLP. HMRC received 1,741 requests to confirm how tax law applies, and refused 65% of the 187 applications on capital gains tax. HMRC says it has rejected more applications that simply seek reassurance, which it says the service isn't for.
