“Over 1 in 2 PAYE taxpayers using our service to check their tax code end up with a tax refund!”

“Tax is boring”, or at least it is for most people, but we’re utterly passionate about it. Well, we’re passionate about getting it back – aka getting YOU a tax refund – and the more we get back, the better! So far we’ve got £128 million back and the amount continues to grow every day, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. HMRC has at least £950 million that needs giving back to ordinary taxpayers just like you.

So what are we doing about it?

Our Tax Code Review will check that the tax you’ve paid over the past four years is correct. We’ll look for anything that caused you to pay too much, and where this happened, we’ll arrange for HMRC to correct their records and give you back your hard-earned cash.

Experience gained from 30 years and over 3 million clients has given us the privileged position of being the leading experts in our field – we know exactly what to look for and where to look for it.

But what makes us really different is the quality of our review – by working with employers, Trade Unions and Professional Bodies to provide our service for their employees and members, we must treat every client equally, irrespective of whether we think they might be due a refund or not.

It doesn’t matter what employment sector our clients are in, we never dismiss a case on the basis it’s probably not worth us looking at – if we did and it turned out we’d missed a refund, we’d have their employer, trade union or professional body to answer to!

We apply this ethos across our entire business so you can be confident we’ll be giving you the best review available, irrespective of whether your employer, (or your trade union or professional body if applicable) works with us or not. If you’re due a refund we’ll find it.

In fact, we’re so confident we can get back everything you’re owed, we’re prepared to guarantee it. Our largest refund guarantee means if we miss anything, we’ll give you double the amount we should have got you back. (T&C’s apply)

We know most of our clients have no idea whether their tax was right or not before they came to us. They assumed their employer had checked everything and taken the right amount of tax. If that’s where you are right now, take a look at our FAQ page and discover the reality.

 

Getting Tax Refunds For Ordinary Taxpayers For Over 30 Years.

The Tax Refund Company has been helping ordinary taxpayers check their tax codes for errors and claim tax refunds where due since 1994. With over 3.5 million taxpayers having applied for a tax code review and with a reputation for leaving no stone unturned in our search for overpaid tax, we’ve grown to become the UK’s leading professional tax refund specialists.

The No.1 Tax Refund Company

Our No. 1 position is recognised by employers, Trade Unions, Police Federations, Professional Bodies and debt management companies across Britain, with more than 700 recommending our service to their employees and members over the last 30 years.

Not to be confused with other rebate companies offering a “cheap and cheerful” service looking for the obvious errors whilst ignoring those more complicated and time consuming errors, we take the view our clients deserve to get back every £ they’re entitled to and it’s our job to help them get it, no matter what it takes.

1 In 2 Clients Get A Tax Refund

Over 1 in 2* clients receive a refund when they give our experts the opportunity to review their tax codes. With our cast iron “Largest Refund Guarantee”, we’ll make certain that if you’ve paid too much tax, you will get every £ your entitled to.

We’ll make sure we get back every £ HMRC owes you, which is not something you can be certain of when contacting HMRC yourself! Even if you manage to get through to HMRC, unless you already understand PAYE tax rules, you can’t be certain you’ve been given the correct answers. It’s the same if you manage to get a refund – you will never know it’s the correct amount unless you have someone on your side who knows exactly what they’re doing and with your interests at heart.

We know tax is confusing – given the PAYE tax code guide is over 22,000 pages long, it’s not something you’re likely to understand any time soon, so we’ve done our best to make it simple, quick and easy to use our service  – just answer a few basic questions in our quick initial review to get started.  

We’re On Your Side

We’ll provide you with a totally independent review – remember we’re on your side and you only pay us if we help you get your money back, otherwise it’s totally FREE.

Where you get a tax refund, our fees are clear and simple – if you get up to £100 back, we charge £35 plus VAT.  If you get over £100, we charge 35p plus VAT or each £1 we recover. If for any reason your refund is under £42, you won’t need to pay us any more than we got back for you.

We won’t charge you anything on refunds we get back for a current tax year that are paid directly into your wages – we’ll let you keep the whole refund – so you could get a refund and pay us nothing. You also won’t need to pay us a fee for any money you save after we’ve completed your review and corrected your tax code.

And, if in the incredibly unlikely situation you get a tax bill from HMRC as a direct result of our review, we’ll pay the bill for you. See our “Underpayment Guarantee”.

Average Tax Refund Of £204

Our refunds average £203.79** each, but there are thousands of clients who’ve ended up getting back as much as £14,974 and every single one of them started out right where you are now, wondering whether it was worth doing. After all, they were “on PAYE and their employer looked after their tax” so why would they have paid too much!

So if you want the chance to put your money back where it belongs, in your pocket rather than in HMRC’s, it takes just a couple of minutes to get started. It could turn out to be the best investment of time you’ve ever made.
