Reclaims UK

Reclaims UK  have recently uncovered legislation that allows Forces personnel to reclaim a tax refund on Travel Expenses incurred if you have travelled to and from base in your own vehicle over the past 4 years.
If you have been posted or assigned to a certain base for 2 years or less we can look into what you may be owed by the Taxman. 

Rewards for forces

When we heard that a member of the Armed Forces, who had recently returned from military operations, was denied a discount in a major high street store, but a student in front of him was given one, we knew we had to act. Reward for Forces is a national discount scheme that offers serving members of the forces, veterans and their families’ premium discounts and benefits - Rewarding those that have served our country.
