Changed jobs twice in one year and was on emergency tax for months. TaxCompare recovered £1,850 I would never have known to chase. Fast, professional, and genuinely no hassle.

Frequently asked questions

You may be entitled to an income tax rebate if you've overpaid tax through PAYE or Self Assessment. Common reasons include changing jobs mid-year, being placed on an emergency tax code, working from home without claiming the allowance, or stopping work part-way through a tax year. Our free eligibility check takes 60 seconds and tells you exactly where you stand.
The quickest way to check if you're due a rebate is to use our free eligibility checker above — it takes 60 seconds and requires no financial information. You can also contact HMRC directly, but our specialists will assess your full situation and often identify rebates that individuals miss on their own.
Once we submit your claim to HMRC, most rebates are processed within 2–5 weeks. More complex cases or high-volume periods at HMRC may take a little longer. We keep you updated throughout and chase HMRC on your behalf if needed.
TaxCompare does not bill you directly. Our accountant partners operate on a success-fee basis — their fee is a percentage deducted only from a successfully received refund. There is nothing to pay upfront, and if no rebate is recovered you owe nothing. You will never be surprised by an invoice.
Any UK taxpayer who has overpaid income tax can potentially claim a rebate. This includes employees taxed via PAYE, workers who changed jobs, people who retired or took a career break, and those who paid an emergency tax code. Our service covers claims for the past tax year.
Our consultant network consists of experienced, HMRC-compliant tax and accounting professionals with expertise across multiple areas of taxation and financial services. Depending on your requirements, you may be connected with an independent specialist who has the relevant knowledge and experience to assist with your claim. This ensures every case is handled by a qualified professional best suited to your individual circumstances.
