CIRC 088: YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO A TAX REFUND

As a member of The POA, you are eligible to have your tax code checked by professional tax experts at The Tax Refund Company, as there may be a high chance you’ve paid too much.

Hundreds of members have already had a refund after using this service. Very few members think they are owed a refund before they use this service. Most of those getting a refund are pleasantly surprised when a cheque arrives in the post.

The main points to note are…      

  • Your review is free if you do not get a tax refund
  • Their fee is 35p plus VAT for every £1 they get back for you. (minimum fee £35 plus VAT*)
  • You will keep 100% of any refund for current and future years.
  • Peace of mind guaranteed – in the rare event you get an unexpected tax bill as a direct result of using this service, it will be paid for you**

You should not assume HMRC will send you a refund if you have overpaid tax. It is up to you to check if you have paid too much tax and claim it back if you have.

This is your hard-earned money. Why let The Revenue keep it? 

Annual Conference 2022 endorsed that POA will continue to use our provider, but it should also be noted there may well be occasions when an individual chooses to deal directly with HMRC themselves.

Yours sincerely

STEVE GILLAN
General Secretary

 

* You only pay a fee if you get a refund from HMRC. If you get back less than £38, the minimum fee will be reduced to the same value as your refund, so you have nothing else to pay.
