To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software.

Company details

Written by the company

The Tax Refund Company has been helping ordinary taxpayers check their tax codes for errors and claim tax refunds since 1994. With over 3.2 million taxpayers having applied for a tax code review and with a reputation for leaving no stone unturned in our search for overpaid tax, we’ve grown to become the UK’s leading professional tax refund specialists. Our No. 1 position is recognised by employers, Trade Unions and Professional Bodies and debt management companies the length and breadth of Britain, with more than 600 recommending our service to their employees and members over the last 27 years. We’ll make sure we get back every £ HMRC owes you, which is not something you can be certain of when contacting HMRC yourself! Even if you manage to get through to HMRC, unless you already understand PAYE tax rules, you can’t be certain you’ve been given the correct answers. It’s the same if you manage to get a refund – you will never know it’s the correct amount unless you have someone on your side who knows exactly what they’re doing and with your interests at heart. We provide tax refunds on a No Refund - No Fee basis.
