Evening,
I was just re-reading this thread as I did only give it a very quick scan last night and wanted to reply as soon as I could.
http://www.scaffoldersforum.com/scaffolders-forum/32483-tax-rebate-time-year.html
We have been sponsoring this forum for nearly 4 years now so I was really surprised to see so much speculation over claiming tax back when PAYE.
I did explain on that thread that PAYE can claim tax back but thought it might help if I did a thread as a stand alone.
We are pretty much the no: 1 scaffolder tax return tax agents - thanks to being here and having built up what we believe to be a good working relationship with you guys.
Not only that - as explained on the thread - the rigorous "vetting" we have been through with HMRC over this last year also makes us one of the very few tax agents out there recognised as "safe, secure and low risk" by HMRC. It basically means that our working practice is approved and satisfactory.
We may work to strict methods but it means that what we get back for you will be safe. What you don't want is HMRC coming after you in 2 years time because a tax agent out there did things incorrectly - may have got you lots of money back but you will have to pay it back if the tax agent didn't do it properly.
We also have a dedicated compliance person, so if there are any queries from HMRC, that is dealt with as all part of the service - we don't abandon you.
Unfortunately (and its something that appalls us) PAYE are not treated the same as CIS and self employed sole traders - on a number of things.
However, as explained, if you incur genuine work related expenses that you get no reimbursement for, its a probable tax claim. You got to keep receipts (if possible) or at least bank statements. We have been saying this forever so please! Just Do It!!!
Anyway - whatever your employment status - if you have any tax issues at all - call us!! We're always happy to hear from folk on here and on that note, don't be scared to tell us your forum nickname!
