Frequently asked questions
Still have questions?
Contact us.
How much does the eligibility check cost?
Nothing. The check is free and carries no obligation. If we find nothing worth pursuing, we tell you that, and you have lost half an hour.
How do you get paid?
We're paid on results and nothing else. Our fee is an agreed share of what we recover for you, invoiced after the funds land in your account. If there's nothing to recover, there's nothing to pay — no retainer, no upfront cost, no risk in finding out.
Do I need to leave my accountant?
No. Your accountant keeps your books and files your returns. We check the things they were never engaged to check, and we are happy to keep them copied in throughout.
How far back can you look?
It depends on the scheme. VAT corrections and bad debt relief generally reach four years back, and import duty overpayments around three. Cost savings apply forward from the day you switch.
Who does the technical work?
Certified partner firms prepare and submit anything regulated, including R&D claims, VAT corrections and duty reclaims. You keep one point of contact at ConsultAway throughout.
How much of my time does this take?
One conversation, about thirty minutes. We ask what you make, what you buy and what you pay for. Nothing to dig out beforehand, and we come back to you with what we found.
