Complete our pack for the relevant tax year and return it to us together with all requested information. We produce a tax return, which is sent to you for approval and signature, we then forward this to the Inland Revenue who will in turn process the tax return and send any refund to our clients account. Our agreed fee is deducted from the amount and the remainder will be sent to you by cheque or paid directly into your bank account.

Do not worry, we should be able to obtain the PAYE and tax details from the Inland Revenue after you have signed the form 64-8 authorising us as your Agents. Alternatively you might find that information on your final payslip for the relevant tax year.

Ideally you might have kept a diary or timesheets of the sites you were working on. If you have not kept records this will not disqualify you from making a claim as there are other methods we can use to obtain the information we need. Please give one of our claim advisors a call and they will be able to assist you.

From 6th April to 5th April each year.
