Marriage allowance claim

I had someone from a company called 'Tax Solutions Ltd' based in Blackburn call me today saying that I am entitled to £1250 a year rebate on my marriage allowance for the last 4 years. Is this legit or just another scam?

    if you are eligible you can claim yourself - don't need them to do it ( presumably they would want a fee)

    Not only would they want a fee of some sort they will also likely sign you up so at least a healthy percentage of any future tax rebates also go to them.

    Just do it yourself.

    I've just requested/donated to DH marriage allowance via my HMRC Online account, it only took a few minutes. I received confirmation and DH's tax code was updated the following day.

    For starters , ou do not get £1250 a year 


    The most you can get is £252  a year.
