''I saw the RIFT advert in The Sun and thought it was worth a shot to see if I was owed any money. I've been with Galamast for 8 years now, use my own car to get around and am always travelling long distances to different sites. I was chuffed when RIFT phoned and told me I got over £6,000 back - it was the easiest money I've got back in my life! I'll definitely be in touch with them again this year to see if I can get any more. I've treated the kids to a few nice days out since I got the money so they're happy too!''

From vehicle tax refunds to claiming tax relief for expenses of employment, it can take an expert to get a tax rebate from HMRC. The HMRC tax refund regulations are complicated enough that even tiny mistakes can leave you badly out of pocket. Worse yet, if you accidentally claim tax refunds you aren't owed, you'll quickly find yourself in serious difficulty.
It's the little details that matter when you're claiming a tax refund, and with your free MyRIFT account, you'll never be left in the dark. MyRIFT makes it simple to check and update all your claim information, whenever you need to. That's the secret to getting the most from your refund - and getting it fast!
Mileage tax relief is by far the largest part of most tax refund claims. Use our quick and simple mileage expenses calculator for an instant estimate of how much you could claim back from HMRC on your business mileage this past year.
RIFT's expertise in handling HMRC tax refunds is world-class. We take care of the whole process for you, so you never miss out or run into trouble. Try our Tax Rebate Calculator to get your tax refund claim started. It takes less than a minute to complete and gives an instant estimate of how much your refund could be.
Often, the perfect time to claim your UK tax rebate is after the end of the tax year. Sometimes, though, you’ll find yourself with claims that stretch back a little further. Remember, even if you’ve never claimed a tax rebate before, there might still be time to get back what you’re due. You can claim back overpaid tax for up to 4-years – and it’s absolutely worth doing it. An average 4-year tax refund from RIFT stacks up to over £3,000 (Refunds are subject to fees of 36%. Exclusions apply). It will take less than a minute to get your claim started, just answer 4 questions and that could set you on the road to your tax rebate. That could well be the single most valuable minute of your year!
Some of the most common questions we get asked at RIFT are “what is a tax return?” and “how much tax do I owe?”
When you’re taxed through the PAYE system, HMRC takes its bite of your income before you even get it. It goes straight from your employer, using your tax code. However, if you’ve got other sources of income, your tax code won’t paint a complete picture of your earnings on its own. That means you’ll probably have to file a tax return through the Self Assessment system to report your income and expenses to HMRC. When you’re sorting out a tax refund, claiming for expenses of over £2,500 will also mean sending a tax return to get your money. If you’ve filed Self Assessment tax returns before, you’ll already know they can be difficult to get right and disastrous to get wrong. That’s where the Self Assessment experts at RIFT really shine.
If you’re self-employed, you need to get yourself registered for Self Assessment as soon as you can. There’s a strict deadline of the 5th of October in the year you start trading, and missing it could be painful. Self Assessment tax return penalties are based on the potential tax HMRC thinks it’s lost, and they’re no joke. With RIFT on your side, though, you’ll always know your tax returns are in expert hands.
Because we’ve been in the business since 1999, we know HMRC’s rebate rulebook inside out. We keep the whole process of getting even with the taxman painless and hassle-free.
People can miss out on the money HMRC owes them because the system’s too complicated – or never even realise they can get tax back at all. With RIFT behind you, you’ll never be confused about who can claim a UK tax rebate or what expenses you can claim for. Just answer a few basic questions about the work you do and the travel you’re paying for and we’ll take it from there. Take a look at our HMRC tax rebate calculator for a fast estimate of what you could be owed owed.
RIFT is with you for every step of your tax rebate journey. You can talk to us at any time on the phone or via email, or use our online forms and Livechat service. If you work in the construction industry, you can even chat to our reps face-to-face or wherever else suits you.
As soon as we’ve got the information we need for your claim, we’ll send you a breakdown to approve. Once we get the thumbs-up from you, we’ll get it on the taxman’s desk, then chase HMRC until it’s paid out in full.
It’s so important to realise that there’s absolutely nothing wrong or “dodgy” about claiming your yearly tax refunds. HMRC isn’t your enemy, and it genuinely doesn’t want a penny more of your money than you owe.
Since way back in 1998, UK tax law has ruled that anyone travelling to temporary workplaces while continuously employed can claim tax back on their travel expenses. We can claim military tax refunds, construction tax refunds and more! Whatever job you do, unless your employer pays or reimburses your travel expenses in full, you could be missing out on the tax rebate you’re owed by law.
This is your money, and it’s 100% legal to claim it back. What’s more, HMRC actively wants you to get the tax relief you’re owed under sections 336- 339 of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003.
At RIFT, we follow the official legal guidance set out in HMRC guide 490 - Employee Travel – and we never claim a penny more than you’re owed. With RIFT, both your refund and you are completely protected. You’ll get back the tax you’re due, and stay in HMRC’s good books at the same time.
