"The work that was done for the money charged was worth every penny"

We can't thank Wayne enough. The paperwork that was presented to HMRC was to a very high standard. We were kept up to date with correspondence. The work that was done for the money charged was worth every penny. They are also lovely people to deal with and make things simple for your claim.

Excellent service and responsiveness. If you are thinking of claiming a DIY VAT refund, I definitely recommend you use this company to ensure you don't miss out on any eligible items.

I can't praise Wayne and his team enough. They offer both a professional and friendly service. Nothing was to much trouble. Excellent.

Andrew Trevitt-Downes

"A first class service I cannot recommend highly enough."

There are times during a self build project when you should engage expert help, and this is one you should do first. A first class service I cannot recommend highly enough. Their experience and guidance is invaluable. Peace of mind throughout your build, and a welcome bonus to finish. Thank you.

"The fee charged was a minimal amount for the work incurred ..."

We highly recommend employing the services of “Claim it back VAT” to claim the vat due on completion of a self build project. 

We first thought that we would be capable of making the application ourselves, but as the build progressed it became more apparent that it was beyond our capabilities bearing in mind the amounts of money involved.  We felt that any lack of knowledge of the system could have caused the loss of a substantial amount of money,

The fee charged was a minimal amount for the work incurred and there were no additional fees whatsoever when problems arose and had to be sorted.

Wayne and his partner were very professional and approachable and nothing was too much trouble. 

Contrary to the information on HMRC website our application took approximate 6 months to be settled and this was very frustrating for us and Wayne, but he could do little more than keep ascertaining the current situation with them.

We will undoubtedly be doing a further project sometime in the future and they will be our first choice.

"This company is truly

outstanding!"

This company is truly outstanding!! To say they earn their very cheap charge is an understatement. Wayne is on the ball constantly they fight your corner and keep you constantly updated. To say they will save you thousands of pounds is an understatement. I personally can not recommend them highly enough. We completed a barn conversion and instructed this company to deal with not only the complicated vat claim but also you can’t make a mistake. If you mess up your claim can be lost. Don’t take the risk use this company truly, genuinely, superb!!!

"He dealt with my case superbly from start to finish..."

I can’t thank Wayne and claim it back vat refunds enough! He dealt with my case superbly from start to finish and took away any uncertainty I had about the process as I had never made a claim before after the construction of my new build house!

Extremely professional and always answered any questions I had instantly . Great knowledge of how hmrc deal with this type of thing.

Very well run and professional service.

"Let the professionals do what they do best."

Absolutely amazing service. Nothing is too much trouble. Everything was explained clearly, they worked through a mountain of invoices and advised what needed changing, correcting, updating etc. We received prompt responses and they made the process so much easier than if I had tried to do it myself. HMRC did take some time to process our claim (nothing to do with Wayne & Co), but we have finally received confirmation that they have approved our claim in full. I certainly recommend using Wayne & Co as their fee is reasonable and it is worth every penny. Let the professionals do what they do best.

Lucy Moran

"Your fee paid for itself in the first week!"

I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your handling of my self build vat reclaim case

There’s no way i would have come remotely close to recovering the amount you did - and even if I tried it would have cost me 10 times the time

Your fee paid for itself in the first week!

Please feel free to use my details in any testimonials I cannot recommend you and your team highly enough

Steve Jones

"I was really pleased with the services provided by Claim It Back VAT refunds."

I was really pleased with the services provided by Claim It Back VAT refunds. I am sure that if I didn't use them, I would have missed out a lot of the VAT refund, as many of my receipts from companies were not correctly done, but Claim It Back pointed them all out and new ones were then obtained.

I would definitely recommend them.

Robert Dunoyer

"My claim was successful in full through his endeavours..."

Wayne gives a no nonsense service and his knowledge of what he does serves clients well.
My claim was successful in full through his endeavours and cannot imagine submitting a claim for the vat back on a new house build without him.

Pink Anderson

"such lovely people to deal with and they provide an excellent service."

We can't thank Wayne and team enough, such lovely people to deal with and they provide an excellent service. They are so helpful and always make time for you. We definitely recommend using their services as their fees are extremely reasonable compared to other companies.
Thanks again to Wayne and the team!

"...we would recommend Claim It Back Refunds to anybody!"

Thank goodness for Claim It Back VAT Refunds - we couldn't have done it without you! Wayne went through the paperwork we sent with a fine tooth comb and picked up a lot of things which we didn't notice/weren't aware of and we are convinced that we would not have had the outcome we did, would we have attempted to do it ourselves. We were delighted to be advised by the HMRC just before Christmas that we would receive the money shortly. Communication throughout the process was outstanding and we would recommend Claim It Back Refunds to anybody! For the amount of work this involved for the team the fee was also very reasonable!

Sylvia Hopkins

"Just best service you could ask for. "

Just best service you could ask for. I'm so glad I used Wayne for the vat return for my self build. He made it so easy and was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Many thanks.

Luke Rawlinson

"5 star service, really helpful from start to finish. Would highly recommend."

5 star service, really helpful from start to finish. Would highly recommend.

Dean Davies

"I seriously was amazed at what Wayne and his team could claim back for me."

What a great service Wayne and his team give, great communication all through the process.
If you are doing a barn conversion like us or a brand-new self-build these are the guys to sort out your vat refund. I seriously was amazed at what Wayne and his team could claim back for me. The claim back I would of lost through doing it myself far outweighs Wayne’s costs. It’s a no brainer …

Diane Kaye

"100% recommend Claim it back VAT refunds, I wish I knew they existed sooner. "

Wayne was brilliant! I can’t recommend him and the team highly enough. I was dreading collating and completing the VAT reclaim for our barn conversion but with Wayne’s help and guidance the claim sailed through. 100% recommend Claim it back VAT refunds, I wish I knew they existed sooner. Thank you so much !

Kim Local

"Would truly recommend this company as they support and help with every issue you my have. "

Would truly recommend this company as they support and help with every issue you my have . Well done Wayne and Lorraine

Ricky Smith

"There are many investments we made during our self build and in terms of the returns and peace of mind this was easily one of the best!"

We worked with Claim is Back on a particularly tricky Self Build VAT Reclaim and couldn't have been happier with the result. The attention to detail and persistence were enormously appreciated and the result was a significant refund from HMRC. There are many investments we made during our self build and in terms of the returns and peace of mind this was easily one of the best! Thanks to Wayne and his team for his hard work and support.

Chris Kitchener

"This service is outstanding very methodical ,careful, well presented in my claim, which was paid out in full."

This service is outstanding very methodical ,careful, well presented in my claim, which was paid out in full. Before your self build starts, I would speak with the team at "Claim it Back" they could have got me a bigger refund if I had been better informed and also preventing some of my suppliers/contractors from charging VAT that should not have. I would highly recommend these guys, great service!

Bill Turner

"First class service, nothing is too much trouble."

First class service, nothing is too much trouble. Great knowledge of the whole process. Don't go anywhere else.

Richard Magee

"I can not recommend him enough. The best value for money of the whole project. Thank you to you both."

Fantastic service. In the stresses of a self build, the thought of submitting our own VAT claim was a step too far! Wayne guided us all the way through, patient and supportive, dealing with every receipt we gave him. His knowledge, efficiency, advice and attention to detail ensured our claim was correctly submitted, no queries from HMRC, and paid in full! I can not recommend him enough. The best value for money of the whole project. Thank you to you both.

Pam B

"A pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend."

Great company to do business with, efficient service, great communication , speeded responses to e mails. A pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend

Brenda Keer

"Excellent service. We received full recovery of VAT claim. "

Excellent service. We received full recovery of VAT claim. Well worth using Claim It Back as our claim was in a bit of a mess when trying to do ourselves and Claim it Back sorted it out brilliantly.

David Maude

"Absolute 1st class service, taken away so much of the stress and strain"

Absolute 1st class service,taken away so much of the stress and strain, no hesitation in recommending, using an expert like Wayne is worth every penny and with his help and knowledge he ensured we were able to claim everything we were due as the rules and guidelines from HMRC are not easy to understand.

Mark

"...so pleased I came across CIB, the best £349 I’ve spent in a long time."

Wayne and team provided me an amazing service. Managing a new build project is hard enough without the nightmare minefield of the HMRC VAT reclaim. All I had to do was collate all the receipts and send them off and answer a few queries from Wayne. Wayne submitted my claim and bingo, repayed in full in only 5 weeks. The team identified what was and wasn’t reclaimable on hundreds of invoices and spotted several other helpful matters.
I’m so pleased I came across Claim IT Back, the best £349 I’ve spent in a long time.
Thank you Wayne and team brilliant service!

Simon Wood

"...extremely professional, very thorough and knowledgeable..."

I used Claim it Back Vat refunds after completion of my barn conversion and found them extremely professional, very thorough and knowledgeable about what was required and completely took the stress out of the refund process.
I was very happy with the cost of the experience and would highly recommend them to anyone ! Don’t even think of doing it on your own it was so easy and quick.

Christopher Hoare

"...Claim it back were so outstanding we had to share our opinion...."

First of all we never do reviews, but on this occasion the team at Claim it back were so outstanding we had to share our opinion. Wayne and the team replied promptly to every query and without fuse successfully recovered our whole claim. Outstanding service.

Raymond Barlow

"Brilliant service and company, I would highly recommend!"

My husband and I used Wayne for our VAT reclaim and we are glad we did!
Wayne and his team were quick, efficient and helpful the whole way through. With great communication, letting us know every step of what to do, what we need and how long things will take.
We got the full expected amount, which we definitely wouldn’t have got if we did this claim ourselves! Brilliant service and company, I would highly recommend!

Shannon Horswell

"if every company worked like this then wouldn't everything just be easy"

This is simple ,if every company worked like this then wouldn't everything just be easy .The process was not complicated and I felt at ease through the whole process .Everything is explained and the stress taken away. Highly recommend this business

David Lennox

"I would thoroughly recommend anyone doing a self build to employ Claim It Back VAT Refunds"

At first I was reluctant to employ someone else to do my VAT claim back for my self build, but I’m glad to say I picked up a leaflet for Claim It Back VAT Refunds at a self build show, it was well worth the fee paid. Wayne from Claim It Back VAT Refunds has done a stellar job, he took all my invoices and sorted out what I could and couldn’t claim, he advised me where I’d been charged VAT when I shouldn’t and helped in getting that refunded in itself, which saved me thousands, then he was very professional in submitting my claim and when HMRC returned some of the invoices as not acceptable Wayne could have just left it at that, but as far as I’m concerned he went above and beyond and repeatedly resubmitted the rejected claims as he stated that HMRC had made a mistake and eventually they agreed with Wayne and paid out all I was entitled to, again amounting to a further hundreds of pounds that I could have lost. I would thoroughly recommend anyone doing a self build to employ Claim It Back VAT Refunds to look after their VAT claims, you won’t be disappointed

"The very modest fee is the best money you will ever spend, worth every penny."

A highly recommended service and, for us, indispensable. We were so impressed with the efficiency and prompt response, communication was excellent, we were kept informed every step of the way, documentation and advice was clear, helpful, concise and accurate. The personnel are a real pleasure to deal with, accessible, helpful, reassuring, professional, informed and efficient. The very modest fee is the best money you will ever spend, worth every penny.

Sally Dingle

"We have had excellent service from Wayne at Claim it back VAT refunds. "

We have had excellent service from Wayne at Claim it back VAT refunds. Self-building is a stressful process and the thought of getting our VAT claim wrong - with only one attempt at it with HMRC - added to the worry. Having been recommended Claim it back from a fellow self-builder we made contact and from the first moment the process was so helpful and made us feel confident our claim would go through. Nothing was too much trouble and we had many follow up queries with some of our invoices.
Would highly recommend their services , the best £349 we’ve spent !!

T A Healey

"With their vast knowledge and absolute proficiency in VAT refunds from HMRC, they are well worth every penny!"

I cannot praise both Wayne and Lorraine of Claim It Back VAT Refunds enough for their total professionalism, efficiency, guidance and expertise. They have made my VAT reclaim from HMRC a breeze. There were a few small issues with my invoices due to suppliers, but they helped me deal with them successfully. HMRC even paid my VAT refund faster than expected and this is 100 percent due to Wayne and Lorraine’s ability to ensure that my application would be processed without a hitch.

Before I knew of Claim It Back VAT Refunds, as a first time self-builder, I was unsure of the VAT reclaim process with HMRC. Having both Wayne and Lorraine to guide me was very reassuring. With their vast knowledge and absolute proficiency in VAT refunds from HMRC, they are well worth every penny! Thank you Claim It Back VAT Refunds!! 

Yvon Rattan

"Absolutely fabulous service from beginning to end. "

Absolutely fabulous service from beginning to end. Wayne and Lorraine were very approachable and helpful. Wayne went through each invoice meticulously, clearly advising on what could and could not be recovered. We achieved a 100 per cent recovery! Very pleased and highly recommended. Thank you.

L Patel

"Excellent service from Wayne at Claim It Back VAT Refunds... "

Excellent service from Wayne at Claim It Back VAT Refunds for our new build home vat reclaim. He certainly knows his stuff and was very efficient with our application and at helping with a few errors we had from retailers. Would highly recommend his service.

Sarah Pemble

"Using Claim it Back is a no-brainer. You'll be delighted with the results and you'll get your VAT back! "

Wow!! Claim It Back was amazing. We would highly recommend their services to claim back your 20% VAT for new construction.
They simplified what could have been an extremely overwhelming process. They were clear, communicative, responsive and extremely patient. There are so many ins and outs to know and with Claim It Back, you don't have to learn it all. Just follow their guidance and it's easy-peasy. We received our approval confirmation letter from HMRC within two weeks of Claim It Back submitting our completed application, notifying us the funds will be in our account in 10 days. We can't thank them enough for this amazing service. My recommendation to anyone considering using them is to get started with them early. They'll help you either way, but getting organized early helps not lose track of some of your expenses. Trust me, it can happen! Using Claim it Back is a no-brainer. You'll be delighted with the results and you'll get your VAT back!

Mark Foster

"We would certainly recommend Claim It Back to anyone with a New Build..."

Having gone through a new build (forever home) process, we were at the stage to action the claim for VAT.  We met Wayne at the Self build exhibition at Harrogate.

Wayne / Lorraine and the team at “Claimitbackvatrefunds” provide an exceptional service, without doubt one of the best tax related services we have ever experienced.  The team removed the stress of this aspect of the project.

We would certainly recommend Claim it Back to anyone with a New Build project.  We would also recommend engaging with Wayne and the team as early as possible in the process.  10/10 from us. Excellent value for money.

Sincere Thanks

Dave & Sally Knight

"If I had taken their advice earlier would have been better for us"

Wayne and Lorraine provide a first class service. Used for first self build VAT reclaim. Attention to detail and quick turn around. Final result better than expected. If I had taken their advice earlier would have been better for us. I strongly recommend using Claim it back. Hard to see how a better service could be given!

Jonathan Mallinson

"They were worth every penny we paid them & I absolutely would not hesitate to use them again."

Highly recommend this company. I contacted them at the end of our self build to assist with our VAT reclaim, my only regret is that I wished I’d contacted them at the beginning! I’d naively thought I’d save money by submitting the reclaim myself however time constraints dictated otherwise. They were worth every penny we paid them & I absolutely would not hesitate to use them again.

Carly Hardcastle

"An outstanding professional service for a very reasonable fee which has literally saved us tens of thousands of pounds."

If you are reading these reviews trying to decide whether you actually need someone else to claim back the VAT for your building project and whether that someone should be Claim It Back VAT Refunds, the answer to both questions is a resounding YES! Wayne helped us claim back 100% of the VAT claimed on our self build conversion from HMRC by successfully and promptly adding and sorting all our invoices, then preparing and submitting the claim. Not only that but Wayne’s advice helped us recoup thousands of pounds directly from our contractors who had over charged us by incorrectly applying the standard VAT rate instead of the correct reduced 5%. There is no way we could have achieved this result without their help. An outstanding professional service for a very reasonable fee which has literally saved us tens of thousands of pounds. Thanks a million!

Mark Smyth

"Couldn’t fault the service. And a great price"

Couldn’t fault the service. And a great price. Thank you Wayne

Susanna Lemon

"Wayne and Lorraine have provided outstanding service ..."

On completion of my new build I was told that I could reclaim VAT on a self build project and was recommended by a friend to seek help from Claim It Back. Wayne and Lorraine have provided outstanding service and I certainly could not have achieved my goal of reclaiming VAT without their help. All my queries have been answered promptly, efficiently and effectively. 

I would recommend Claim it Back unreservedly to all self builders.

Mary Cobb

"The continuous prompt response to emails was very impressive. "

Fantastic service provided throughout. Wayne was always on hand to advise and help. The continuous prompt response to emails was very impressive. Would highly recommend

Carl Lake

"Communication excellent and obviously very experienced with the process and finer details."

A first class company - very highly recommend. We considered attempting to claim back VAT for our new build ourselves but soon decided to invest in professionals to do this on our behalf! Money very well spent!! Feel we have saved so much time effort and stress and have managed to reclaim every thing we are entitled to by doing this. Communication excellent and obviously very experienced with the process and finer details.

Debby Middle

"My advice to anyone undertaking a conversion is to use Claimitback.. "

I am not one to leave reviews unless exceptional. We started our conversion without knowing we could claim back VAT. As a result our paperwork needed a LOT of sorting out. Wayne helped us to resolve various issues around format/proof of purchase etc. Also he helped us claim back VAT that we thought was ineligible which was an added bonus!
Once submitted HMRC lost documentation and challenged some of the claim. Wayne also resolved these issues.
A FIRST class service and his knowledge, experience and patience was excellent in navigating the minefield.
My advice to anyone undertaking a conversion is to use Claimitback, however I would recommend contacting them before the conversion for advice so you can avoid some of our pitfalls regarding retaining invoice copies, format, what can be claimed etc to ease the application.
