Letter regarding Marriage Allowance Tax Refund

Nickdrakebroxbourne

I've received a letter from a company called Rebate Gateway advising that I may be entitled to a rebate for unclaimed marriage allowance. Is this a legitimate company and letter?

 No, thy want a fee to claim it for you when you can claim it yourself and not pay a fee

Marriage allowance is perfectly legitimate, a guy at our office got a decent whack from a claim. You don't need a third party to do it for you and take a cut

To be fair you cannot actually claim Marriage Allowance and get a refund yourself.  

It is the person agreeing to have a lower Personal Allowance who has to claim and they can never get a refund from applying, it is the recipient who gets the refund (assuming one is due).

The op needs to understand which is which and then the person who needs to apply can do that without any need to use a third party.
