This typically covers two major overlooked areas:
Higher-rate pension tax relief
Work-related expense tax relief
- Our service is completely free to your business and requires minimal involvement from your payroll or HR departments.

HOW WE HELP
Two ways we support your employees
Higher-Rate Pension Tax Relief Reviews
Many higher-rate taxpayers are completely unaware that they must actively claim a significant portion of their pension tax relief directly from HMRC.
We help eligible employees review whether additional tax relief is due on:
- Workplace pensions operating under Relief at Source arrangements (such as NEST, Royal London, Aviva, and The People’s Pension)
- Private pensions & SIPPs
If your staff members cross the £50,270 threshold and their contributions are deducted from their net salary, they have likely suffered 40% (or 45%) tax on that money, but their pension provider only automatically tops up their pot by the basic 20% rate. We specialise in recovering the missing 20% to 25% balance from HMRC, backdated for up to 4 previous tax years
Note: If your company uses a Salary Sacrifice arrangement, your staff already receive their full relief automatically via payroll, meaning they do not need any further tax claim. We look after the employees who aren't on Salary Sacrifice
Work-Related Expense Tax Relief
Many PAYE professionals incur legitimate costs as part of their day-to-day job roles that can be offset against their tax bills.
This commonly applies to:
- Employees travelling to temporary workplaces or client sites (such as field-based BDMs)
- Field-based employees and regional managers
- Employees purchasing specialist tools, equipment or professional uniforms
- CIS subcontractors
All claims are made directly with HMRC against tax already paid, often resulting in significant four-figure cash lump sums sent directly to the employee.
