CIRC 047: YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO A TAX REFUND

If you pay tax, there’s a fairly high chance you’ve paid too much.

As a member of the POA, you are eligible to have your tax code checked by professional tax experts at The Tax Refund Company.

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 professional tax review is free if you do not get a tax refund.
⦁ For every £1 paid back by HMRC, you keep 58p (minimum fee £42*)
⦁ You will keep any tax you get back for a current year and any extra money you receive in your pay every month following a tax review
⦁ 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, they won’t. 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

General Secretary

*If your refund is less than £42, the minimum fee will be reduced to the same value as your refund, so you have nothing more to pay
