Is this for me?

This service applies to a specific situation. If the three following statements are true about you, you're probably owed some money back.

You pay higher rate tax

Your gross income is above £50,270. You pay 40% tax on some of your earnings — or 45% if you earn over £125,140.

You have a workplace pension

Your employer contributes to a pension on your behalf, with contributions deducted from your pay each month.

You're on a "Relief At Source" scheme

With some pension schemes, HMRC sends the basic-rate tax back to your pension pot automatically — but stops there. The extra relief for higher-rate taxpayers? That bit gets missed.

"Most people aren't told about this. It doesn't show up on your payslip. Your pension provider doesn't flag it. HMRC doesn't write to you. It just silently goes unclaimed."

What happens next

Here's the full journey from sign-up to refund — what we do, and what we need from you.

1

Register your interest

Fill out the form above with your contact details. We'll get in touch to discuss your situation and confirm whether you're likely to be owed unclaimed pension tax relief.

You register, we call
2

We verify your eligibility

We check that you're a higher or additional rate taxpayer on a Relief at Source scheme, and confirm you haven't already claimed via Self Assessment. We'll let you know if anything looks off.

3

You sign a Letter of Authority

To request your contribution history from your pension provider, we need your authorisation. We'll prepare the letter — you just need to sign it. We'll guide you through any provider-specific requirements.

You sign, we submit
4

We get your contribution history

Using the Letter of Authority, we contact your pension provider and obtain up to 4 years of contribution records. This can take a few weeks — providers aren't always fast. We'll chase them so you don't have to.

5

We calculate your exact claim

With your full contribution history in hand, we work out precisely how much higher rate relief you're owed for each year. You'll get a clear breakdown to review — and share with your accountant if you'd like a second opinion.

We handle this
6

We prepare your HMRC claim

We prepare everything needed to submit the claim to HMRC — either a letter you send yourself, or a Self Assessment entry if that's more appropriate for your situation. We'll recommend the right route and make it straightforward.

7

HMRC pays you

Once HMRC processes your claim, you'll receive a repayment — typically as a cheque or bank transfer. Timescales vary but are usually within a few weeks of submission.

HMRC pays you directly
8

We invoice for our fee

Only after you've received your repayment do we invoice you. Our fee is 10% of the amount HMRC paid out. Nothing until you get paid.
