Tax Refund Service

For over eight years, the UK’s leading refund specialists, The Tax Refund Company, have provided our members with a FREE tax code review to help them find out if they have paid too much tax. 

Nearly 8000 members have now applied for this review, resulting in The Tax Refund Company recovering over £580,000 in tax refunds for our members. The average refund is £334 each. 

Very few members think they are due a tax refund before using this service. In most cases, members assume that being on PAYE, the tax they have paid will be correct. Unfortunately, this is often not the case.

If you have not used this service, you should seriously consider doing so, otherwise you could be missing out. If you fail to reclaim your overpaid tax within the six-year deadline, HM Revenue will keep it!

Tax Credit Service

Do you have children under 20 years old
OR do you work over 30 hours per week (16 hours if you're aged over 59)?

Thousands of members are missing out on money they are entitled to receive because they do not realise they can claim it, do not understand the tax credit system or are frightened to claim because they have been forced to pay money back in the past.

New research has shown as many as four out of five low-paid workers without children are missing out on tax credits worth some £2,000pa and one in four of those entitled to Child Tax Credit worth at least £1,875pa. has not claimed it! The latest reports suggest Britons will fail to claim over £8.5 billion of tax credits this year alone!

Tax credits are there to help boost your income and, in some cases, the amounts can be life changing!

The average pay-out for Child Tax Credit is over £3,500pa. Unfortunately, the tax credit system is also incredibly complicated, with changes this year making it even harder to know how much you should be getting.

Through our Partners at Tax Credit Solutions, sister company to The Tax Refund Company (with whom we have worked for many years) the SoR is able to offer a Tax Credit Service which will tell you if you should be receiving tax credits.

If you should, it gives you a choice - make the claim yourself, or pay a small fixed fee and take advantage of our fully managed service that will:

• Complete all the paperwork for you (by hand, as required by the Tax Credit Office);
• Calculate the exact amount you will receive;
• Submit your claim to the Tax Credit Office and follow it up, if necessary;
• Check the Tax Credit Office have paid you the right amount of money;
• Remind you on a regular basis to inform Tax Credit Solutions of any changes in your circumstances (so you don't have to pay any money back);
• Handle ALL on-going correspondence with the Tax Credit Office, so you never have to deal with them yourself;
• Provide you with a tax credits helpline throughout the year.

Anyone over 16 who normally lives in the UK can apply for tax credits. The amount you get depends on your circumstances and household income, but if answered YES to either of the questions at the top of this page, you should use this service to find out instantly if you are entitled to some money.
