  • P60 or wage slips for each tax year you wish to claim for

Claiming a mobile worker tax refund directly through the HMRC doesn’t always incur a fee, however, many individuals and businesses choose to use professional services, like the service we offer at Swift Refunds, to ensure their claims are accurate and maximised, which does have a fee. We understand that making a claim can be extremely time-consuming, and any small mistake can incur a fee, which is why we offer a 100% Swift Guarantee, meaning that you don’t have to worry about the HMRC asking for any of your money back. As long as you give us full and accurate information, if the HMRC doesn’t agree with how much we’ve claimed and asked for any money back, we will pay it.
