Hi hope this is the correct forum for this question. Ive been emailed from a company called Swift refund claiming they can go back 4 years using my P60's a claim without reciepts for food and drink etc etc. I'm PAYE but wondered if was a thing. Anyone had any results of a refund via this way. Thanks for any replies.

I think the best way is do it yourself. As they will be taking a chuck of the refund.

Perhaps you could elaborate on why you think a refund would be due?

Also, do the terms you would be agreeing to mean this company would be entitled to a refund of any tax refund?

And if so what about when HMRC decide to investigate the claim and disallow some of all of the claims.  Do the company have to pay back their share or is that all on you?  

You really need to understand what you are getting involved with.

Why pay someone 22% + VAT to claim when you can claim yourself and get all the money.

That assumes you are eligible to claim for these expenses.

These companies claim and  take  their money before sending you what's left.

Then HMRC  check the claim and , if is not correct, you get a bill for the whole amount refunded, but you only got part of it  so  you now have to make up the difference.

Stay away from these companies.

If you need help with a claim give details here of  what you want to claim and why, what you job is, and someone will advise you of you are eligible to claim and how to go about it.

A search of previous posts will enlighten you to then problems that arise  when you get involved with these companies.
