Absolute scam. They are knowingly pretending to be a legitimate business whilst robbing people blind. What I don't understand is if this company are known to police etc to be fraudulent, why are the HMRC still sending them cheques?! Can't they blacklist the company? It's a joke.

They have taken my full refund for the previous tax year. I needed this money

I can't believe there are people who actually work for this company and are happy to sleep at night knowing they are scamming innocent people

I have seemingly been scammed by this company after receiving p800 which had been sent there by gov.Uk apparently with my permission, the sum is over £5000 and is due to an emergency tax deduction taken from a pension, I have nowhere to go with this as I cannot find a number online, the government office which dealt with my enquirer has no phone number for the organization they sent the Cheques of this amount and I am at my wits end trying to locate them, SCAM of the pension I have worked all my life for, god help you

I didn't understand when I applied for a working from home tax rebate. I also have been ripped off but luckily phoned the tax office to make sure that no other money would go to tax credits. Luckily I did as I am owed quite a bit of tax back due to retiring so if you have any thoughts that you are owed money, contact the tax office directly. They have reassured me that no more money will go out after this year and they were very helpful and wanted me to get this money quickly before any third party could intervene. Not sure how this is even legal but no complaints about the tax office.

Update: sorry I've been on holiday so no update. I did complain to Martin Lewis and he wrote this article to help us.

Google beware third party tax rebate Martin Lewis money saving expert.

Whatever you do, do not send this company any of your information, looks like they are giving people 50% of their refund to entice others who won't give their ID details.

Next make sure when you speak to HMRC you need a copy of the signature likely it won't match the signature on your passport or driving licence. Follow Martin Lewis steps.

Didn't submit a tax claim via this company, yet HMRC sent my tax rebate to them. Currently trying to get it back. This is illegal and they should be held to account by HMRC - but I very much doubt that happens...

Absolute scoundrels. They set up a website so you think you are claiming tax rebate from HMRC. This is deliberat fraud. They have copied HMRC logo. Hundreds diddled of 52% of their refund. Barry Brennan the CEO has moved business address over and over again. The police and HMRC need to stop him. Rot in hell you scamming fraudster. How do you sleep at night after stealing people’s money?

This does not warrant a 1 star, they are the scum of the earth. How they are allowed to do this is beyond me. I had already put in a valid claim direct through the government web site, when I got "Tax Credits" email I just thought it was from the correct source. Took 50% of my claim, warning to anyone that has been conned by them, make sure you tell the proper tax office you no longer want these con artists acting on your behalf, as they will continue to do so...they need to be stopped...URGENTLY..

They basically took 50% of my rebate! How is that even legal. I was shocked that they would be allowed to charge so much. Do not use!! I didn't read the reviews till I'd already engaged with them. I didn't realized they were as bad as they were! Disgusting. What a scamm.

Money sent to them from HMRC without my permission. They no longer exist at their registered address and haven't been there for over a year. When I have raised an official complaint with HMRC I am told, nothing they can do as Tax Credits Ltd have cashed my cheques! money seems to be lost for good!

I was emailed by these as I worked from home in the Pandemic and said I was owed money I have since retired and any extra money would be helpful but I didn't send them my bank details I just rung up Brunnel house someone told me they are being investigated for fraud. So had another email and just ignored it.

Just like everyone else I completed a very HMRC like form for the Working From Home rebate.
It’s turned out I was already getting this automatically as everyone was working from home!
However due to a change in circumstances I left my job to care for my Dad. HMRC said I was owed £325. Cheque sent to Tax Credits. They’ve asked for ID but I’m not giving it.
I’ve reported it as a fraud with the police. Think I’ll have to write to HMRC as the online form isn’t relevant

Questions: someone said they can’t bank the cheque until they get your ID? Is this true?

Will HMRC remove them on my instruction? They told me today they won’t as Tax Credits have to do this. Also any future rebates will go straight to them 😡

Like many others we have been hit by this scam but understand the ICO are now investigating this dubious company along with HMRC.
They are fleecing tax payers hard earned monies taking 52% commission!
You need to request a letter from them confirming "removal of any deeds of assignment" so that HMRC do not send them any more monies. Without this letter there is nothing HMRC can do and Tax Credits Ltd can continue to claim anything you are due for the remainder of your life!
Tax Credits Ltd are using misleading advertising by using similar text, font and colours to mimic HMRC so that claimants believe they are dealing directly with the Government's official service.
There is no option to opt out of data sharing for marketing purposes and there is limited transparency on who they share your data with.
There is an incomplete explanation of what your data rights are, including no mention of your right to complain to the data watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). They should both be included within their privacy policy and are legal requirements.
They have failed to ask for ID in advance in order to comply with anti-money laundering laws and ask for it at the end of your claim. ( If you have even made one, they have been known to forge signatures and converted refund enquiries as confirmed applications to HMRC via their website!)
This means Tax Credits Ltd have no legal basis to keep your money, your personal data or to act as our Agent.
Write to them asking to revoke any legal agreement and request they return your cheques to HMRC.
Copy in the ICO, HMRC and your local MP. Hope this helps.

I have been scammed in the same way as everyone who posted here. HMRC are not taking any responsibility, they directed me to Action Fraud but neither of the criteria set there applies to this. They keep my money as everyone else's with no retribution as people are left to chase for themselves. Is there a lawyer here that will take a collective complaint against this company?

Scamming bunch of theives, Robbed me from my tax rebate

Scam, they take money from HMRC claiming they have your signature and that they are going to pass the money back to you but they just keep it! The don't have a contact number and I have emailed them several times now with no response. I have written aletter with no response. Quite scary how HMRC will just accept their say so that this is your signature with no checks and just continue to send them your money! I have told HMRC to not send them anything moving forward and to note my account however I am not confident anyone will read this when sending them my money. I am at a loss at to what I can do!

I received a suspicious email in June 2022 stating “Tax Credits” had secured a tax rebate for me. The email requested that I send my I.D. and bank account details to them, to have the funds released to me. It looked suspicious so I did not click on the link, and thought nothing else of it. I then found out I was due a tax refund from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), and that a cheque for had been sent out in the post in March, 2022. Having not received the cheque in the post, I called HMRC to be told that I had authorised a company “Tax credit Ltd” to receive the cheque on my behalf through a binding document that I had signed. This document is fraudulent and my signature on this document has been forged. This company obtained my name and address and criminally acted on my behalf. On the advice from HMRC, I emailed the company, via the email displayed on their website asking for the cheque to be sent to me. I never authorised this company to act on my behalf and I was told by HMRC that even by clicking on a link on a website, this could have triggered an automatic authorisation for the company to act on my behalf. I am horrified and distraught a the idea that someone can obtain my information and act on my behalf so easily, and appalled that HMRC could so callously and negligently allow for my cheques to be sent to an outside company with no verified address ( “20-22 Wentlock Road London N1 7GU” doesn’t exist in the UK), without confirming this change with myself. I am deeply saddened and sickened by the thought that a criminal, fraudulent company is acting on my behalf with my details, and that a huge organisation like HMRC could allow this to take place when they themselves are supposedly investigating this company. They are STILL allowing it to happen! Hard working individuals like myself and millions of others pay an extortionate amount of taxes each year. Our refunds, no matter the amount, matter to us. We need that money, we deserve our money coming back to us safely. I hope HMRC can clear up this mess and compensate for the distress and inconvenience this has caused myself and hundreds of others.

As so many have commented, this company operate in a very dubious way. I had no idea I would be giving them access to my HMRC account and my finances when I filled in the form online. It looked official, like part of HMRC. ‘Working from home’ rebate sent to this company who are now asking me to send my highly sensitive information via an insecure portal. Action Fraud, who I have reported this to have strongly advised me not to respond or send anything to them. I have in effect, lost £300 and possibly more as they are still acting as agents on my account and you can’t take them off without a letter from Tax Credits.

To those affected, PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF ADDRESS AGAIN 5 days ago:

SCAM!!! Received a letter from HMRC to state they had sent my tax rebate to TAX CREDITS!! After calling HMRC I was told they were a 3rd party company I had instructed to act on my behalf!! All HMRC would say was they had done nothing wrong and they were a legal company. I HAVE NEVER INSTRUCTED THEM OR ANYONE!! No contact number or response to my email. HMRC don’t give a crap!!

This Company is being investigated for fraud and I have a Crime Number.
Like everyone else on here I innocently filled in a form on line believing it was from a legal tax body. Enquiry for the working from home tax rebate of which I signed. There were no terms and conditions.
I then received a letter from the tax office stating that I had paid too much tax against my People’s Pension and that a cheque for £736 would be sent to me.
I did not receive a cheque therefore when I phoned the tax office I was informed that the cheque had been sent to my Agents Tax Credits.
I was not aware of having an Agent.
The Tax office informed me that they had received several letters from Tax Credits showing my signature. I informed them that the letters were fraudulent. Just to be told that due to the fact that my signature was on the letters there was nothing they could do.
I asked the question then do the tax office hold a copy of my signature for legal reasons as I wasn’t aware that they did. Told no.
I informed them that they obviously have been scammed at not me and the fact that the tax office had obviously not done the necessary security checks to allow this to happen. The customer service adviser argued the point and eventually put the phone down on me.
In the meantime I have raised a complaint regarding the matter with the Tax Office.
I also have an email address for Tax Credit Cardiff and informed them that they have fraudulently stated that they are my agents and that I have a crime number as this is now being investigated by the Fraud department of the police.
The company has been in contact with me requesting personal information to release a payment and I have refused to provide it. Stating that any monies should be returned to the Tax Office where it came from.
