Making a PPI tax claim can sound more daunting than it actually is. We understand. Taxes can be difficult to deal with, especially when it is in relation to a mis-sold policy. Thousands of people were mis-sold PPI and have received a pay-out from the government. If you were one of these people, it’s very likely that quite a bit of your pay-out was taken away due to PPI tax. That’s why you need to have an expert tax lawyer on your aside that is available to help you understand what you could be owed.
Now, one of the biggest worries you may have on your mind is whether or not you will need to pay to make a claim. This is a common worry for many of our clients. After all, you have just had to deal with making a PPI claim. It can be frustrating to know that you are still owed money, and worse, may have to pay money in order to get what is rightly yours returned to you.
This is where Gowing Law Solicitors can help you. Our experts are here to provide you with tax advice that can get you the pay-out you deserve. All you need to do is call us on 0800 041 8350 or use our PPI tax form below! Click the button to learn more:
Why was tax taken away from my PPI claim?
To give a little context about making a PPI tax claim, let’s go back to the root of the problem: PPI policies. PPI stands for “Payment Protection Insurance” and was usually included in a payment plan (i.e. for credit cards and loans). Unfortunately, in most cases, this policy was actually mis-sold because it did not fit the buyer. To sum it up, take a look at the GIF below to get an idea of how a PPI policy could have been mis-sold to you:
As you can see, these are only a few examples of how you could have been mis-sold PPI. Either way, if you were able to get a pay-out for your PPI policy from HMRC, there is a chance that when you received the pay-out it was taxed. Your pay-out was made out of:
- A statutory interest of 8% per year
- How much you paid into your PPI
- Any additional interest that the bank added to pay for your PPI
The only thing that could have been taxed is your statutory interest if it was suspected that you went over your personal savings allowance. Most importantly, if you can prove that you did not go over your saving’s allowance, it is very likely that you can have the tax returned to you.
