Company details

  1. Tax Advisor

Written by the company

The Tax Refund Company has been helping ordinary taxpayers check their tax codes for errors and claim tax refunds since 1994. With over 3.2 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. Our No. 1 position is recognised by employers, Trade Unions and Professional Bodies and debt management companies the length and breadth of Britain, with more than 600 recommending our service to their employees and members over the last 27 years. 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 provide tax refunds on a No Refund - No Fee basis.

Hi Charlie, thanks for using our service and for taking the time to leave us a review. With regards to timescales, that very much depends upon 2 things.

Firstly, how complicated a particular client's circumstances are and so how easy it is for them to be able to provide the information we might need.

Secondly, how busy HMRC are and what approaches they are currently taking to processing claims. For example, we are currently receiving refund cheques from them for claims that we submitted in October this year as well as claims that we submitted during January - June.

The good thing is that, regardless of how long they're taking, we will continue to liaise with them on your behalf to ensure we are able to reclaim everything that you are owed.

Kind regards

Hi David, thanks for using our service.

Essentially, it all depends upon how complicated your situation is.

We try to make our application process as simple and straightforward as possible to identify if / where a client may be paying too much tax. Once our team have reviewed your application, we'll have a better idea of what extra information we may need (if any).

If everything is straightforward, then yes, it really is that simple!

Kind regards.

Hi Brenda, thanks for using our service and taking the time to leave us a review.

You're right, sometimes HMRC require quite detailed information in order for us to be able to make a claim on our client's behalf, but this very much depends upon the individual client's circumstances.

Luckily, we're here to decipher it all, so that you don't have to.

Thanks again for using our service, we really do appreciate it. Kind regards
