    They will charge a fee of 42% PLUS £100 (both including VAT) for something that you can do yourself here:

    Is that what I should have charged my BIL/SIL for the <10 minutes of my life I spent filling in the on line form for them ?

    Of course you should! A single claim for 2020/21 - you get £205, they get £45! Seems fair?

    It's £171 if molerat's not VAT registered. A bargain.

    I was helping SIL sort out her SP so got a Gateway account set up. I had no idea what she was earning previously and found she never got anywhere near her PA so asked if BIL paid tax and suggested she apply so back to 17-18. So my share of the £968 is .........  :o
