A lot of problems during my experience with this accountant. Poor comunication: sometimes I waited weeks for an answer or I have being totally ignored. Also if some task are included on the contract I had with them they asked for extra money. Be always sure you red and understand the contract because they try shameless to ask for extra, always. They ignored mi instructions (change the address from RIFT office to my house) to keep the control of communication also after I ended with them and then they lost a letter from HMRC and left me on troubles. The quotation they give me for tax return (I am not trading at all on the last year) and close my LTD was £500. They are a waste of time and money. 04/06/18 I have been contacted from Rift to discuss the communication problem we had and they are trying to sort out all the outstanding items. I appreciated that.

RIFT! Seemed really quick, very helpful until claim is made, they were not really helpful during claim is on process, they did not actually inform me what is going on! I had to keep chasing for information. As soon as HMRC finalise the decisions to refund the tax back to RIFT account ( as a legal agent) and sends out the confirmation letter of tax refund, which is a clear cut process but RIFT never inform me about my refund is going to be made via cheque or direct deposit. After I received a letter from HMRC I called RFT to ask them about the money I entitled to. RIFT said it can takes up to 10 working days but it still not arrived yet! They could not answer me the alternative plans to satisfy my entitlement. It is more than 10 working days now. I am on my way to legal path. Not acceptable!!!!

Thank you for providing the feedback and I am sorry to hear you are unhappy Niraj. Once a claim is completed we normally have a bit of a wait and if we are unable to speak with our client on the phone then these timescales are on the documents we send to our clients. You would then only hear from us once the refund arrives or if there is a delay on the refund. The documents we send also clearly state ''We cannot submit your tax refund to HMRC until you reply. If you wish to be paid by bank transfer please contact us'' if you do not then contact us a cheque is automatically issued and this is what happened in your situation. Once the refund arrived we sent you a text to advise your payment was on it's way. My colleague would have advised that if you do not receive the cheque within 10 working days (excludes Sat, Sun & 2 bank hols recently) we would then assume the cheque was lost and be able to cancel without charging any administration fee. I hope this has provided some further clarity for you, but I will also contact you to discuss .

Used RIFT for the past 2 years, now using them again for my 3rd. I've got an extra £800 each year back into my pocket... very simple and easy to do!

Very friendly on the phone, however it’s a very long process and I found I was the one calling you to check in on how things were going, also I think the commission you take is extremely steep!

Hi, thanks for the review. The length of time the process takes can vary, however we do advise that it takes on average 16 weeks from the point you first contact us. We also try to ensure that we are as thorough as possible to ensure that we only claim what you are entitled to which helps to prevent HMRC opening up enquiries that would delay a claim even further. Regarding our fee, unlike our companies this includes both our guarantee (ensuring that any money you receive is yours to keep), and our aftercare service (which means that if you have any issues with HMRC following a claim we will look into that for you). These are things which other companies will often charge extra for. If you do have any further questions then please don't hesitate to let us know.

Making refunds on behalf of the other individuals is very helpful. It's time consuming, lots of paper works to be done and it's just easy for us to go through RIFT.
