CIS deductions, payments on account set too high, EIS and SEIS relief, losses from a side business. When the money comes back through your tax return, we file it, claim what you're owed, and a qualified UK accountant signs it off.
Most people who are owed tax back don't need a Self Assessment return at all. HMRC sorts those refunds directly, usually free, through your personal tax account. Worth checking which side you're on before you pay anyone.
You don't need us for these. Go to your HMRC personal tax account.
This is what we do. Sign up free and tell us about your year.

One of our qualified UK accountants prepares your return and hunts for reliefs you didn't know you could claim.
Every claim, why it was made and the document behind it, before you sign.
Simple £125, Complex £250, Specialist £500. Nothing added later.
Contractors take 20% off your payments before you're paid, or 30% if you're not registered for CIS. That's an estimate. Your return works out the real bill once expenses and allowances are counted, and if more was deducted than you owe, HMRC repays the difference. Bring your CIS payment and deduction statements.
Payments on account are based on last year's bill. If your income dropped, you may have paid in advance for tax you don't owe. Your return settles it, and you can also claim to reduce the next payments.
A trading loss can often be set against your other income for the same year or the year before, which can mean tax back on your salary. Conditions apply, including a cap on how much relief you can claim, so this one needs checking properly.
EIS gives income tax relief of 30% of what you invested, and SEIS gives 50%. You claim it on your return with the EIS3 or SEIS3 certificate, and you can carry it back to the previous tax year.
Personal pensions that claim relief at source, and Gift Aid donations, only get basic-rate relief added automatically. If you pay tax at 40% or 45%, the extra relief has to be claimed, and a return is the usual way to do it.
Below £2,500 you can claim directly from HMRC. Above it, the claim has to go through Self Assessment.
You can amend a return within 12 months of the 31 January deadline for that year. After that, overpayment relief lets you claim back tax for up to four years.
Upload what you've got and we take it from there. Our technology checks your documents and tells us what's missing, so you're not digging through old emails for a P60 or typing numbers into boxes.
Three tiers, all published on the site. You pay for the one your return falls into and that's the figure. Nothing gets added later because the return turned out to be fiddlier than it looked.
Every return goes to one of our qualified UK accountants before it's filed. They're checking the numbers, and they're also hunting for reliefs you didn't know you could claim. That second bit is most of the value.
Message or call whenever something's unclear. You'll speak to someone who actually works on tax returns.
Your return comes with a covering letter in plain English. It says what we claimed and why, points at the document behind each claim, and flags anything where the answer wasn't obvious. Keep it. If HMRC ever comes asking, it's the thing you'll want.
Filing is a record of what already happened. The more useful conversation is what to do before next April, and we'll have it with you while there's still time to act.
Employment, self-employment, property, foreign income, capital gains, residence. Whatever your return needs, we file it. An extra page doesn't make you someone else's problem.
We charge a fixed fee per filing, never a share of your refund.
One fee per filing.
Probably not, and you may not need to pay anyone. If it's a wrong tax code, emergency tax or a P800 letter, HMRC sorts it through your personal tax account. We can help when the refund depends on a tax return, for example extra pension relief as a higher-rate taxpayer or work expenses over £2,500.
Your return works out what you actually owe for the year, after expenses and allowances. That figure is set against the deductions your contractors already took. If they took more than you owe, HMRC repays the difference. We'll need your CIS payment and deduction statements.
No. You pay one fixed price per filing, agreed before you commit. Whatever comes back is yours.
Yes, within the time limits. An amendment is possible within 12 months of the 31 January deadline for that year, and overpayment relief goes back up to four years.
HMRC issues the repayment once it has processed your return. The timing is set by HMRC, not by us, so we won't promise a date.
Yes. Every return is prepared and signed off by our qualified UK accountants. The team includes ICAEW members and tax specialists with longstanding experience in roles at HMRC and top firms like BDO.
The filed return, and a covering letter that explains it in plain English: what we claimed, why, and which document each claim rests on. Where something was a judgement call, it says so and tells you how we called it.
Free to sign up. No obligation, no percentage of your refund.
