Nottinghamshire Police Federation

Are you paying too much tax?

23 January 2025

HMRC makes it an employee’s responsibility to check they have the correct tax code. It’s not something an employer does or can do.

It means checking it yourself if you understand tax regulations, or arranging for a professional tax expert do it.

For Nottinghamshire Police Federation members who are unsure how to check their tax code, help is available from The Tax Refund Company.

Since 2003, 78 per cent of Nottinghamshire Police Federation members who have used the service have received refunds that average £215.22 each.

Some members have received as much as £942.01.

If you want to use The Tax Refund Company, please note:

  • Your tax review is free of charge, unless you get a tax refund

  • If you get a refund from a previous tax year, there is a fee of 35p plus VAT for each £1 you get back from HMRC (minimum fee £35 plus VAT)

  • You do not have to pay a fee for any refund you get back for a current tax year, or any money you save by paying less tax in the future

  • Peace of mind is guaranteed. You get back everything HMRC owes you and if you get an unexpected tax bill as a direct result of using this service, The Tax Refund Company will pay the bill for you. Terms and conditions apply
