Miles' £400 Uniform Tax Refund Story
When Milton Keynes based 23 year old Miles Laurence saw an advert for Uniform Tax Rebate on Facebook, this was the first he heard about claiming a tax refund for his uniform and tools. Unsure if he was even entitled to make a claim, he entered his details through the Uniform Tax Rebate website and was sent forms to complete within a few days.
Miles was working for Reed as a Fork Lift Driver, a role that meant he spent much of his day covered in dirt and dust. His overalls and polo shirts took a lot of cleaning to remove the daily dirt. Although initially unware of the potential tax rebate he was entitled to, Miles was surprised to found how easy it was to make the claim.
Having received a rebate for over £400, Miles said "The forms came through so quickly and the communication from the company has been fantastic. It was a really easy process." Working a very demanding full time job meant he had little time free to spend arranging the claim but was more than happy to let Uniform Tax Rebate to do it all on his behalf.
So happy was Miles with the service, he has even mentioned it to his friends whilst on nights out. ‘"I told my mates about it in the pub the day after I sent the forms", Miles said, "they are looking into it as well."
Miles is hoping to spend his tax rebate on either a new television or towards a much needed ‘winter sun’ holiday, to escape the colder weather.
How to claim: You can use the handy online calculator below to enter your details and make a claim within five minutes.
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.
