Rift are an excellent firm mate, CIS or PAYE
They came onto our Tottenham court road job last year, loads of lads went with them and it only took 2 weeks, they charge a flat fee no matter how much they get you back, about £175 it was, lads were well happy.

We're happy to assist with that! Here's a note of our fees so it depends on your employment status as to the fee. We have thought really hard about our fee structure and feel this is one of the fairest for everyone. (Someone will be along soon to accuse us of all sorts of untruths - just so you know).
Apart from anything else, we work to HMRC's best working practices and actually have a thumbs up from HMRC. Not many tax agents can claim this... although they will claim lots of other things, like no evidence to support a claim is necessary.
If you want some advice, just call in 01280 821020.
Thanks (and thanks HSWT)

This has been our fee structure since February 2013. In fact, our fees have consistently gone down each year we have been in business. We are always reviewing them.
VAT is an unfortunate bi-product of any business or service and artificially inflates the amount charged.
VLLB, I am taking your comment in good faith. Maybe this can draw a line under what has gone before.

£99 + vat and 15% of any subsequent rebate for a cis tax return !!!! based on a £2k tax rebate that's around £420 which equates to one hell of an arse warming and WTF is a HMRC thumbs up !!!!

Hi Podger,
I make it £400... which is actually 20%... much cheaper than many competitors (often mentioned here) charging 28% and higher for the very fast turnaround (which is really only based on overpaid tax rather than expenses incurred). Please stop including the VAT as PART of our fee... it isn't and there's nothing we can do about it being charged. Lobby your MP. We all have to pay VAT, it's one of the scourges of life.
I don't know how much you pay your mechanic to service your car but I do know mine wanted to charge as a minimum £350.
We provide a service that one can choose to use. We deduct our fee from the rebate because administratively, it's easier. We could send the whole rebate and an invoice for the fee to be paid... would that make it not coming from the rebate? Of course not!
The thumbs up from HMRC is massively important. You all know about companies that have promised large rebates, absolutely no mention of evidence and even fees of £50.
However, after a year or so, when HMRC decide to open investigations, that company will be long gone and you will be stuck with owing money back, minus any fee that was taken.
We voluntarily worked with HMRC to ensure that the returns we do are as safe and secure (from ever being called into question).
Excerpt from our site:
During 2013, Bettertax voluntarily went through the very rigorous HMRC compliance process. Our business practices in completing tax returns was completely checked. HMRC have approved our working standards and we are proud to say that we are now one of very few tax agents considered ‘Low Risk’, meaning very few tax agents can offer better security for your refund claim or tax return than us.
“I am happy to say that Bettertax's processes and procedures put them in a much better position to ensure accurate Returns”

This is important. There really are not many tax agents out there that have been through this. To be recognised as "low risk" by HMRC is a huge deal - we're really proud of it.
