Great customer service
Great customer service, agents couldn’t be more helpful. Used many times in the past, will do again.
Had the pleasure of working with James this time, turn around from form submission to figure generation was incredibly quick, quicker than my previous claims.
Everything was explained thoroughly making the end user experience all the more better.

Unable to claim any meal allowance at all , in the past always got £10 per day?

Hi Mike, thank you for your review. Where eligible meal expenses can be evidenced, by either bank statements or receipts, we will look to ensure tax relief is obtained on this for you. Unfortunately where cash is used for purchases and without receipts we are unable to clearly evidence to HMRC that the cost has been incurred and paid. If you ensure that you keep all your meal receipts ready for your next claim we will look to add this in for you alongside your eligible travel. We hope that you are enjoying your refund and look forward to assisting you in the future. Kind regards, Edward

The team members of RIFT were so helpful throughout the process and have been so polite and lovely to speak to. The members who I remember speaking to I think were Summer and Becky. They are an absolute credit to the RIFT team and I’ll be sure to refer RIFT to any friends and family in the future.
