Your Questions - Our Answers
We are here to help you with any questions you may have
What are tax refund services, and how can a Tax Accountant help?
At Tax Accountant, we often meet clients who’ve unknowingly paid too much tax. It’s more common than most people think. Maybe a tax code was wrong, a relief wasn’t claimed, or expenses weren’t included. Our job is to find that money and get it back for you.
We go through your returns, payslips, and financial records carefully, checking everything against HMRC’s current guidance. If we spot an overpayment, we prepare the claim and deal directly with HMRC so you don’t have to chase forms or wait on hold.
HMRC normally allows up to four years to claim a refund, so it’s worth acting quickly. Whether it’s PAYE, VAT, corporation tax, or self-assessment, we make sure your claim is fully compliant, properly documented, and sent through the right channels.
Our clients trust us because we do this every day — accurately, transparently, and always in line with HMRC rules.
How does the PAYE tax refund process work?
If you pay tax through PAYE, you might be due a refund without realising it. It happens when you change jobs, work part-time, take unpaid leave, or end up with the wrong tax code. HMRC lets employees claim back overpaid PAYE tax for up to four tax years, as long as there’s proof of income and deductions.
At Tax Accountant, we check your P60s, P45s, and payslips to see exactly what’s gone in and out. If there’s been an overpayment, we put together the refund request and send it to HMRC for review. We handle everything directly through their online system, keeping it fast and accurate.
You’ll always know what’s happening — no jargon, no chasing. Just a straightforward process that gets your money back safely and correctly.
Can Tax Accountant help me claim a VAT refund for my business?
Yes, absolutely. Businesses overpay VAT for all sorts of reasons — an incorrect code, missing receipts, or simple miscalculations. HMRC allows legitimate VAT reclaims if your business has paid more input VAT than it’s charged on sales.
Our accountants at Tax Accountant review your VAT returns, invoices, and expenses, making sure everything aligns with HMRC’s VAT guidance. We also check that you’re using MTD-compliant software and that every claim has a clear paper trail. If something doesn’t add up, we fix it before submission.
If HMRC asks for clarification, we handle the conversation on your behalf, explaining the figures and supporting the claim with proper documentation. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your VAT refund is accurate, compliant, and backed by a qualified team who deals with HMRC daily.
What is a corporation tax refund, and when can my company claim one?
Corporation tax refunds often happen when a company pays too much in advance or qualifies for reliefs it didn’t originally claim. HMRC allows companies to amend returns within a year after filing if they discover an overpayment.
At Tax Accountant, we review your company’s tax returns and accounts, looking for unclaimed reliefs such as capital allowances, loss carrybacks, or R&D credits. If a refund is due, we prepare the adjustment, file it through HMRC’s online portal, and monitor progress.
We stay in contact with HMRC to keep things moving and respond quickly if they ask for supporting documents. Our aim is to make sure your refund is processed properly and that your company’s tax position is accurate going forward.
Can self-employed people or landlords claim tax refunds, too?
Yes, and it’s something we help with often. Many self-employed people and landlords pay more tax than they need to because some expenses are missed when filing returns. That might include mileage, tools, professional fees, or property repairs — all of which HMRC allows within specific limits.
Our team at Tax Accountant goes through your past returns and receipts, checking what’s been claimed and what hasn’t. If we find overpayments, we amend your Self Assessment and submit the claim digitally to HMRC.
We also help you stay compliant for future years by setting up better record-keeping systems and making sure you know which costs are deductible. It’s not just about claiming a refund once — it’s about keeping your taxes right every year.
How long does it take to get a tax refund through Tax Accountant?
It depends on the type of refund and how quickly HMRC processes it. PAYE refunds are usually paid within a few weeks, while VAT and corporation tax refunds can take a bit longer. HMRC sometimes carries out checks before releasing funds, especially for large or amended claims.
At Tax Accountant, we make sure your claim is complete and compliant before submission, which helps avoid unnecessary delays. Once it’s in, we track the progress through HMRC’s system and follow up directly if it takes longer than expected.
Our clients usually find that because everything is prepared correctly from the start, refunds are approved faster and with fewer questions. You’ll always know what’s happening, and we’ll keep you updated until the money is back in your account.
