Thousands of people across the UK could receive a tax refund from HMRC in the next few weeks, according to MoneySavingExpert.com.
It comes after the consumer site revealed that hundreds of people complained about being duped by Tax Credits Ltd (TCL) which led to the agency being banned from operating. Last year, HMRC pledged to refund 60,000 people who had been caught up in the agency's dodgy operation.
It was revealed that TCL charged taxpayers a significant amount of money to make claims for tax refunds on their behalf but did not show or sign any legal documentation which made it clear claims would be paid to the company. According to the government, around 11,000 clients whose claims had been paused during the investigation into TCL will now receive their tax refunds directly from HMRC instead.
