Each tax year will be recalculated if you enter a claim. This often identifies other overpayments due to incorrect tax codes, multiple employments, ceasing of job, etc. In these cases we can identify a much larger tax rebate. We regularly identify rebates of over £1,000 for customers who were originally estimated a lower amount.
If you claim now you will receive tax relief for the current tax year and future years that allowances continue to apply, paid through your monthly pay, no charge will be made on future tax relief or refunds.
You don't need to make any upfront payment to us in order for us to check if you are due a rebate.
We will ensure that your current year reliefs are correct and that your future year allowances are adjusted in line with the current year to ensure you are no longer being overtaxed. There will be no charge calculated for amending your current tax code and you will receive any tax refunds due in the current year and in future years directly.
If you are due a refund in the 4 previous tax years we will receive that refund from HMRC on your behalf and deduct charges in accordance with those quoted on the website prior to making a payment to you.
Standard deduction is 30% + £30, plus VAT, where due on any refund payment HMRC send us before passing payment on to you. Charges are limited to the previous 4 tax years we check and we will not make any deduction on future tax refunds.
If no refund is due the service is FREE to use. If a refund is due standard pricing is 30% + £30, plus VAT, where due on any refund payment HMRC send us before passing payment on to you. The charge is levied on all refunds received from HMRC covered by the claim period (4 previous years) regardless of reason. When entering a claim you agree to legally and unconditionally assign the rights to any refund for the previous 4 years to OTR, when payment is made to us we will forward the residual balance to you net of our agreed fees. On receipt of the form HMRC will manually reconcile (calculate) your tax liability for each year of your claim. If unreconciled differences are present on your taxpayer record for any year these differences may positively or negatively effect your tax liability on top of the effect of any allowances or expenses claimed for. HMRC perform a more basic automatic reconciliation on taxpayer records from April to November in the tax year following the end of each tax year. By submitting your claim you forgo the rights to any benefits that may have been accrued as a result of HMRC performing an automatic reconciliation, from the date your form is received by HMRC.
Tax rebates for Emergency Medical Workers
Paramedics and ambulance workers spend their time looking after the public, but who helps them when it comes to making the most of their hard-earned pay? That’ll be Healthcare Worker Tax Rebate because, as an employee in the sector, you are allowed to claim tax relief on certain necessary costs of your employment. However, due to lack of time or because staff don’t know how to apply, most of these reliefs go unclaimed.
Here’s what you can claim for:
Registration fees
Many ambulance workers are registered under the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC), formerly the HPC (Health Professions Council), and the cost of this is allowable for tax relief. Usually, anyone registered with the HCPC can claim tax relief at around £30 per year – or £60 per year for higher rate taxpayers.
Union membership
If you work in healthcare you can claim tax relief on membership fees with Unison. The amount on which you are allowed to claim tax relief is restricted, but if you pay the highest subscription rate you could be due around £35-£70 per year in tax.
Upkeep of equipment and uniform
Ambulance staff on active duty are given an allowance to cover the cost of upkeep and laundry of their uniforms and this can be worth between £36 and £72 per year, depending on which rate of tax you pay.
This all adds up – plus, you can backdate your claim over the previous FOUR tax years, even if you’ve had several jobs or left your job in the ambulance service. For the current and future tax years you can get tax relief through your tax code which means you’ll get a little less tax deducted from your pay packet.
