In explanation, if the refund net of our charges and VAT is less than £20 we will make an additional supplementary charge up to but not exceeding £19.99, inclusive of VAT where due, to cover any amount below £20.

The charge is levied on all refunds received from HMRC covered by the claim period (4 previous years) regardless of reason.

Where refunds remain unclaimed for more than a year we will charge a £25 holding fee against funds not claimed, annually, on the anniversary of the date of issue of the original settlement cheque to the client, if the cheque remains uncashed.
