We’ve put together this list of Frequently Asked Questions to address some of the most common queries we receive. If you still have a question not covered by this list, please contact us.
General
It is completely free to submit a claim. You are not required to make any upfront payment or provide bank details.
If we are successful in recovering a refund for you, we will charge a fee of 25% (excluding VAT) of any refund we obtain for you. VAT is payable on the fee element only. Where the rebate does not cover our minimum fee of £50 plus VAT, there will be no additional charges to pay.
Most claims are completed within 6-12 weeks. During busy times or for more complex claims, it can take longer. Rest assured we will continuously monitor your claim and chase HMRC until we have a response.
Yes. You can claim for all jobs you have had during the last 4 years.
No. The rebate will be recovered from HMRC, as you are reclaiming overpaid tax you have personally paid through your wages.
All you need to send to us is your signed claim form, which we will email to you when you complete the online application form.
We will contact you if we need any further information. We do not always require your P45′s, P60′s etc.
For a uniform tax claim, you do not need proof of any expenditure incurred for washing your uniform. If you are claiming tax relief for professional fees, HMRC may require proof of actual amounts paid.
For other expense claims (such as tools and equipment), please include a copy of the receipts/proof of purchase when sending in your claim form.
Not usually. When you submit a claim with us, we will not only claim a rebate for prior years, but we’ll also apply to change your tax code to ensure that you receive the relevant tax reliefs directly in your pay. You will receive notification of your new tax code from HMRC.
If your circumstances change, or you have irregular expenses which you wish to claim for, it may be necessary to submit a claim periodically. If you think this applies to you, please contact us for advice.

Payment
All payments are made by cheque to the name and address provided when you registered your claim.
If you would like a bank transfer rather than a cheque, please contact us. A administration fee of £12 applies for bank transfers.
We can reissue your cheque, however there will be a fee of £12. This fee is to cover the cost of cancelling your original cheque and associated admin costs.
