Dear Member

You may be entitled to a tax refund

As a member of The Prison Officers Association you are eligible to have your tax code checked by professional tax experts at The Tax Refund Company.

Very few members think they are owed a refund before they fill in the form. Most of those getting a refund were pleasantly surprised when a cheque arrived in the post.

As a member, we would like to give you the opportunity to take advantage of this excellent service.

If you wish to use the service, the main facts you need to know are:

• If there is no tax refund you pay no fee. The service is entirely free of charge
• For every £1 refunded, you keep 62p (minimum fee £38*)
• YOU keep 100% of any future savings you make from a new tax code

 

Visit the Discount page in the members area to access this benefit

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

* Where your refund is under £38, the fee will be reduced to the amount of the refund so you have nothing more to pay.
