No win, no fee means we don't charge you if HMRC doesn't pay a refund. It's worth knowing that HMRC can review a refund after it has been paid, and can ask for money back if a claim turns out not to have been valid. That's why we only submit claims we can evidence.
You can claim a tax refund directly from HMRC yourself, for free, at gov.uk. We charge a fee because we do the work for you: we check what you can claim, prepare the evidence, and deal with HMRC on your behalf. If you'd rather do it yourself, that's a legitimate choice and we'd rather you knew.

Common questions
Quick answers
How much does WiseReturn charge?
Our fee is 15% of your refund, with a minimum of £30 — whichever is higher. No upfront costs, ever. HMRC pays your refund directly to you, in full — we invoice our fee afterwards, due within 14 days. No win, no fee means we don't charge you if HMRC doesn't pay a refund — and HMRC can review a refund after it has been paid and ask for money back if a claim turns out not to have been valid, which is why we only submit claims we can evidence.
How long does a claim take?
Once submitted, HMRC typically processes claims within 8–12 weeks. We send regular updates (typically weekly) and tell you the moment your refund is confirmed.
What if HMRC rejects my claim?
You pay nothing — no win, no fee means we don't charge you if HMRC doesn't pay a refund. We'll tell you honestly whether your claim is strong before we submit it. And because HMRC can review a refund even after it has been paid, we only submit claims we can evidence.
