PAYEright Helps Doctors Claim Tax Relief

Aug. 27, 2008 - PRLog -- For those in the UK who pay-as-you-earn (PAYE), your employer deducts your tax straight from your wages according to HM Revenue & Customs’ guidelines given your particular tax code. However, often this tax code is incorrect and too much tax is being deducted. It is thought that around 44% of employees have paid too much tax, including many employed doctors, according to the leading tax rebate services company, PAYEright.

PAYEright helps people from all sorts of professions claim back tax relief that is due to them. They organise all the red tape that must be navigated in order to receive a tax rebate so that you don’t have to, and as they work on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis, you won’t have to pay a thing unless they secure you your tax refund.

One profession that PAYEright specialises in assisting is doctors. Due to the widespread lack of knowledge surrounding a person’s rights with PAYE, combined with a lack of time on the part of most people in the medical profession, a good number of employed doctors are entitled to tax refunds without even knowing it and without the time to investigate it.

PAYEright can help doctors secure tax rebates on all allowable expenses which include professional subscriptions to medical bodies such as the GMC and the BMA, professional indemnity insurance such as Medical Defense Union and business mileage. The latter qualifies as suitable for a tax rebate if the doctor has used their own car either to drive to see patients, between sites or to a temporary place of work.

PAYEright are able to backdate their customers’ tax rebate claims for six years (from April 2002), making the potential refunds substantial. It is refunded at the individual’s marginal tax rate, between 22% and 40% depending on whether the individual is on the lower or higher tax rate.


Average refunds are between £650 and £800 but the company has been known to recover thousands of pounds in reclaimed tax relief.

Tax refunds are your responsibility and the onus is not on the Inland Revenue to inform you if you are elgible for a rebate. Even knowing this, some are reluctant to enter into a lengthy bureaucratic process in order to get their due. This is where PAYEright comes into its own, particularly for the overworked and time-poor such as doctors. PAYEright will handle the entire process, check your tax code, liaise with the Inland Revenue and arrange for your rebate to be paid to you; all on a ‘no-fee, no-win’ basis.
