Paul's £40 Uniform Tax Refund Story
Process worker’s tax rebate treats little lady to Lightwater Valley trip
Paul Redshaw, 42, from Newcastle, had been working in his role as a Process Worker for Formica Limited in nearby North Shields for over five years before he found out he could claim tax relief on the laundering of his uniform.
Labouring away seven days a week, Paul’s shifts in a laminate factory require him to keep on top of cleaning and ironing for his issued uniform of polo shirt, jersey, trousers and boots, which have a nifty knack of getting dusty.
It was only after his union delivered a group talk on the topic back in June that Paul realised he could claim back money for the upkeep of his work kit. He headed home that evening and found Uniform Tax Rebate online, following the directions on the site to order a form to get the process started straight away. In a matter of weeks he received a cheque through the post for £40.27.
Paul described the process as: “Prompt, efficient, but most of all, simplified extensively” and said as many as 30 other of his colleagues at the factory have gone on to make their own rebate claim.
He chose to put the surprise rebate funds towards a treat for his daughter Libby, ten. Last summer he took her and a school friend on a trip to Lightwater Valley in Yorkshire.Packing a picnic, the trio took on Europe’s longest roller coaster, The Ultimate, which proved a bigger challenge than pursuing his rebate claim. Paul now plans to check that his tax code has been correctly adjusted, so that he can continue to treat Libby to similar little luxuries.
Talking about trip, Paul said: “It seems like a long time ago with all the rain we’ve had recently but our theme park day out was one of the highlights of the summer for Libby. I’m glad my rebate provided that little extra money that meant she could bring a friend along for the rides.”

Each tax year will be recalculated if you enter a claim. This often identifies other overpayments due to incorrect tax codes, multiple employments, ceasing of job, etc. In these cases we can identify a much larger tax rebate. We regularly identify rebates of over £1,000 for customers who were originally estimated a lower amount.
If you claim now you will receive tax relief for the current tax year and future years that allowances continue to apply, paid through your monthly pay, no charge will be made on future tax relief or refunds.
You don't need to make any upfront payment to us in order for us to check if you are due a rebate.
We will ensure that your current year reliefs are correct and that your future year allowances are adjusted in line with the current year to ensure you are no longer being overtaxed. There will be no charge calculated for amending your current tax code and you will receive any tax refunds due in the current year and in future years directly.
If you are due a refund in the 4 previous tax years we will receive that refund from HMRC on your behalf and deduct charges in accordance with those quoted on the website prior to making a payment to you.
Standard deduction is 30% + £30, plus VAT, where due on any refund payment HMRC send us before passing payment on to you. Charges are limited to the previous 4 tax years we check and we will not make any deduction on future tax refunds.
If no refund is due the service is FREE to use. If a refund is due standard pricing is 30% + £30, plus VAT, where due on any refund payment HMRC send us before passing payment on to you. The charge is levied on all refunds received from HMRC covered by the claim period (4 previous years) regardless of reason. When entering a claim you agree to legally and unconditionally assign the rights to any refund for the previous 4 years to OTR, when payment is made to us we will forward the residual balance to you net of our agreed fees. On receipt of the form HMRC will manually reconcile (calculate) your tax liability for each year of your claim. If unreconciled differences are present on your taxpayer record for any year these differences may positively or negatively effect your tax liability on top of the effect of any allowances or expenses claimed for. HMRC perform a more basic automatic reconciliation on taxpayer records from April to November in the tax year following the end of each tax year. By submitting your claim you forgo the rights to any benefits that may have been accrued as a result of HMRC performing an automatic reconciliation, from the date your form is received by HMRC.
