Tax Rebates YorkshireKey tax rebate answers for Yorkshire residents
We provide all the important topics for Yorkshire residents to check if they are owed a tax rebate. First, let’s answer the top 5 questions we often get.

Q) What can I claim for?
A) Everything from travel, hotel and tools. We’ve listed more info below.
Q) How much could I be owed?
A) It's extremely hard to say without talking to each individual, but the average 4 year claim for our customers based in Yorkshire is £3,836. So, it’s worth finding out!
Q)Does my work need to have been specifically in Yorkshire?
A) No, you can work anywhere so long as you’re living in Yorkshire and paying tax to HMRC.
A tax rebate (or tax refund) is money HMRC owes you back if you've paid too much tax. For example, if you’re paying for essential work travel or other expenses, you can claim back the tax you paid on those costs as a rebate, whether your work in Construction, the Armed Forces, Security or Offshore.
RIFT takes the hassle, stress and guesswork out of your tax rebate claims. We prepare your claim for you, get it on HMRC’s desk and chase it up until it’s paid in full.
You can claim many things, and our certified accountants can help you get the most from your claim. They have expert knowledge in helping workers. This includes those in Construction, Armed Forces, Security, and Offshore jobs. They have been doing this for the past 25 years.
Here’s a list of what you claim for:
Mileage for work travel in your own vehicle (if your employer doesn’t fully reimburse you)
Transport costs like train, bus or airline tickets.
Food and hotel while you’re working away from Hampshire
It will depend on what you will be claiming for. Our experts can guide you through the whole process. Here is a quick list of documents or information you may need for a tax rebate claim.
Your contract of employment (if you’re new or have changed jobs)
Last thing! We’ll also ask you to sign a 64-8 form. It’s not as scary as it sounds, it will make things much easier for you as we can then deal directly with HMRC on your behalf.
There's no upfront cost to you. You can start your refund claim without any financial commitment. This gives you peace of mind. You won't pay until you get your refund.
That's right, you only pay a fixed fee when we successfully issue your refund, with no hidden costs or surprises.
For a PAYE (employed) tax rebate: 36% of your refund (including VAT), with a minimum fee of £60.
For a CIS tax rebate (self-employed in Construction): A fixed fee of £300 (including VAT), which includes filing your tax return.
