Claim for repayment of excise duty in Northern Ireland

Use form HM6 to claim a repayment of excise duty if your goods are being delivered from an EU member state into Northern Ireland.

Applies to Northern Ireland

This service is only relevant for goods being delivered from an EU member state into Northern Ireland. You cannot use this service where goods are delivered to a location in Great Britain from an EU member state.

You can claim a repayment of excise duty if you’ve already told us about the overpayment on your HM2 return form, and it cannot be offset on a future return.
