A time limit on APNs simply isn't in the legislation - hence there is no time limit.
However, you can easily forsee that if a time limit were to be introduced in future legislation, it will be weighted on HMRC's side - it will be a time limit for the taxpayer to take action, not HMRC, after which point the APN is considered final settlement.
You can already see their argument. If a taxpayer overpays on PAYE, they have a limited number of years to demand if back - and go to court if HMRC refuse. The argument will be that if a taxpayer believes that their APN represents an overpayment of tax, because they believe their arrangements are legal, then it's up to the taxpayer to initiate proceedings - and if they don't do it within a certain timeframe (probably 6 years), the case is considered closed - and the money lost forever.Comment

The payment period is 90 days from the date of the notice, or longer if you make representations disputing the notice.Comment

Meanwhile, here is the letter my MP received in reply from that nice Mr Gauke, which he forwarded to me:

It contains the usual misinformation - e.g. "HMRC's success in avoidence litigation shows that only a small minority of avoidance schemes are upheld in the courts ...""If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next ..."Comment
