Mustbeananswer??

Hi...Received an email from the above.Apparently I can claim £312 because I worked from home for a while in the Pandemic.


Anyone else received this email...is it legit....have you received any cash from it??Parts of it look dodgy...parts of it look legit ??

It's part truth, mostly a scam.

You can reclaim the princely sum of £1.20 a week, so nowhere the £312 they're claiming.

Looks like they are using a year of the £6 a week tax relief you can claim to arrive at the £312 figure - You can claim 2 years so why not say £624 to look even more attractive - still only puts the already stated £1.20 in your pocket  (basic tax on £6 = £1.20) .

Remember if you are entitled to this money, you just claim it direct from HMRC, free of any charge.

No one ever needs a claims company to do these things.
