Getting Your Tax Back

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL VOLUNTARY SECTOR AGENCIES

Reclaiming Overpaid Tax

It has recently come to our attention again that businesses are approaching pensioners and offering to obtain a refund of tax that may have been overpaid. The cost of this service is a percentage of the reclaimed tax, often about 40%.  All refunds are paid to these firms who deduct their fee before passing the much reduced remains on to the client.

Could you remind your advisers that this charity, along with TaxAid and HM Revenue & Customs, will help pensioners get what is rightfully theirs at no cost.

TOP has a proven track record over the last 7 years of helping older people with their tax affairs. Our local professional advisers will see clients often at a CAB or Age Concern office or visit them in their own homes and assist with tax matters. Any person approaching or over 60 with a household income of  around £15,000 net per annum would be eligible for our free service.

People on low incomes are vulnerable and need to maximise their income. They should be helped to receive the full amount of any overpaid tax.

Please help your clients to get what is rightfully theirs.
