Great Convenience

I was struggling to claim my tax and customs refund being an international student but the duty refunds team helped me with great ease. A very convenient platform.

Literally could not have been any easier

The service is completely worth the 15% fee. Returned some trainers to Japan after being hit with hefty import fees and so glad I did as duty refunds made the process easy. Communication was great I was updated along the way - it’s not a quick process but that’s more to do with them having to deal with HMRC. All I provided was a fedex tracking number and some basic details and they took care of everything else, amazing!

10/10 Website, Genuine and Satisfying

Legit website. I provided them info on my specific case and all I had to do was wait. Took about a month or so to get my refund back to me. First time I've ever tried a website like this and it was all buttery smooth. I recommend you use them if you don't have the knowledge or wanting to do any paperwork. Again, I cannot thank DutyRefunds enough. Cheers 🤠👍

Excellent service.I wasn't sure how…

Excellent service.I wasn't sure how successful I would be getting quite a large bit of duty back on a return to Europe so entrusted these guts and gave them all the paperwork .I got all the tax back so we'll worth it for their fee

Great and quick service

I purchased pair of shoes from Italy, but had to return them. I didn’t want to deal directly with tax return, so opted for this service. I submitted application on 13 February and got my refund today. Process was very straightforward and commission fee is also reasonable. I would definitely recommend this website for similar situations as mine.

Really impressed by this service.

I purchased a watch from a Norwegian supplier that turned out to be defective. The price I paid included the import duty, but the refund I was due would exclude this amount. I had almost written the duty element off when I came across Duty Refunds (while trying to understand how I could claim the duty back myself). Long story short, I don't think you can do it yourself as quickly and cost effectively as these guys handle your claim. Everything from the initial enquiry to the final pay-out was handled superbly. Fantastic communication every step of the way. I would recommend Duty Refunds in a heartbeat.

User friendly service

Duty refunds made the process of recovering my refund from HMRC easy and hassle free. I was going to try and do it myself but decided against it as it didn’t seem so straight forward. Glad I found duty refunds website.

VAT & Duty refund for returned watch

What a great service!! Needed to claim a few hundred pounds back in VAT and duty for a Tag watch I purchased and then subsequently returned in the EU.
The HMRC form looked daunting, so was happy to pay a percentage for Duty Refunds to handle everything for me.
Had my VAT & duty refunded in a few weeks with no hassle.
