What we do

A return filed on time can still be a return filed wrong.

Most reclaim work is not about disputes. It is arithmetic nobody has gone back over — a rate applied to the wrong line, a commodity code entered at speed, a relief that existed and was never taken. None of it is dramatic, which is exactly why it survives.

Services Offered

Four corrections that are still inside the time limit.

Each has its own window. Most reach four years back, duty around three.

VAT return corrections

Small misclassifications compound quietly across quarters. Errors can generally be corrected four years back.

VAT on unpaid invoices

If you accounted for VAT on an invoice that was never paid, that VAT is generally recoverable once written off.

Import duty overpayments

Commodity codes are easy to get wrong at entry. Repayment claims are usually considered three years back.

Reduced-rate energy

Some premises and lower-usage businesses qualify for 5% VAT on energy but are billed at 20% throughout.

Does this apply to you

One of these is usually enough to be worth a look.

Each has its own window. Most reach four years back, duty around three.

You import goods

Commodity codes are entered at speed by whoever cleared the shipment, and rarely checked afterwards.

Invoices written off

VAT you accounted for on an invoice that was never paid is generally recoverable once it is written off.

20% VAT on your energy

Some premises and lower-usage businesses qualify for the reduced rate but are billed at the standard one.

How we work

We find it. A certified partner firm corrects it.

We read the returns and the entries against what the business actually did, and identify what is both recoverable and still in time. Where a correction is worth making, a certified partner firm prepares and submits it.

Correcting a classification also stops the overpayment continuing, which over a few years is often worth more than the historic reclaim itself.

THIS IS ONE OF THREE

Most businesses qualify in more than one of these.

One conversation covers all three. You never pick a starting point.

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.
