How to Claim Your Tax Back From HMRC
Your rebate is recovered via an HMRC R40 repayment form. Moreover, we handle everything — you don’t need to contact HMRC at any stage.
Check Eligibility
First, complete our short online form. In fact, this takes under two minutes and immediately confirms whether you qualify to make a claim.
Share Your Details
Next, provide your personal information and a copy of your Pepper Money Final Response Letter showing the compensation and tax deducted.
We Handle Everything
We then prepare your HMRC R40 application, compile all supporting documentation, and submit your claim — no action required from you.
Receive Your Rebate
Finally, HMRC pays your rebate directly to you, typically within 6–8 weeks of submission. No win, no fee — our 39% + VAT applies only on recovery.
Higher rate taxpayers may not be eligible. In some cases additional tax may be due instead — we assess this before any claim is submitted.
About Creation & the FCA Compensation Scheme
Creation Finance (Creation Consumer Finance Ltd) is a UK consumer finance lender — formerly part of BNP Paribas, now part of Ikano Bank — that provided car finance agreements through dealer networks. Creation Finance agreements between April 2007 and November 2024 may fall within the FCA's motor finance redress scheme covering discretionary and undisclosed commission arrangements that caused customers to pay inflated interest rates without their knowledge.
If Creation Finance compensation includes statutory interest, HMRC requires 20% income tax to be deducted before any payment is released. Basic-rate and non-taxpayers can reclaim this deduction via an HMRC R40 repayment form — a process our registered agents manage entirely.
The tax rebate is completely separate from your Creation Finance compensation. It does not involve Creation Finance or the FCA and has no impact on your payout. Our registered agents handle all R40 paperwork and HMRC correspondence on your behalf.
Am I Eligible to Reclaim Tax on My Creation Finance Compensation?
In general, you may qualify if all three of the following apply to you:
Condition 1 / 3
You received compensation from Creation Finance — via the FCA’s formal redress scheme, a standalone complaint, or a Financial Ombudsman Service decision.
Condition 2 / 3
Creation Finance deducted tax from your payout. This is confirmed in the Final Response Letter from Creation Finance, which sets out both the compensation amount and the tax deducted.
Condition 3 / 3
You were a basic rate taxpayer or non-taxpayer in the year the compensation was received. We confirm this as part of your free eligibility check — no guesswork required.
Higher rate taxpayers may not be eligible. In some cases additional tax may be due instead — we assess this before any claim is submitted.
