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 Zopa 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 Evolution & the FCA Compensation Scheme
Evolution Funding is a Chesterfield-based car finance broker and lender aggregator, operating through a large network of franchised and independent dealerships across the UK. As a significant intermediary in the UK motor finance market, Evolution Funding is involved in the FCA's investigation into discretionary commission arrangements — agreements where the interest rate was secretly increased by dealers to earn more commission, at the customer's expense.
Where Evolution Funding compensation payouts include statutory interest, HMRC will deduct 20% income tax before any funds are released. Basic-rate and non-taxpayers can recover this deduction via an HMRC R40 repayment form — a process our HMRC-registered agents handle from start to finish.
The tax rebate claim is entirely separate from your Evolution Funding compensation. It has no impact on your claim or payout, requires no further contact with Evolution Funding, and is submitted directly to HMRC by our agents on your behalf.
Am I Eligible to Reclaim Tax on My Evolution Funding Compensation?
In general, you may qualify if all three of the following apply to you:
Condition 1 / 3
You received compensation from Evolution Funding — via the FCA’s formal redress scheme, a standalone complaint, or a Financial Ombudsman Service decision.
Condition 2 / 3
Evolution Funding deducted tax from your payout. This is confirmed in the Final Response Letter from Evolution Funding, 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Evolution Funding operates in both capacities — as a broker connecting customers with lenders, and as a direct lender in its own right. The FCA's redress scheme covers both direct lending agreements and those arranged through brokers where commission was not properly disclosed.
You can contact Evolution Funding directly with a commission disclosure request. FCA-regulated firms must confirm whether DCAs or other commission arrangements applied to your specific agreement. Our agents can assist with this process alongside your tax rebate claim.
There is no upfront cost. Our fee is a percentage of any successful rebate — if HMRC does not repay anything, you pay nothing. We will confirm our fee clearly before any claim is submitted.
No. The HMRC R40 tax rebate is completely separate from your Evolution Funding compensation. It is filed directly with HMRC and does not involve Evolution Funding or the FCA in any way. It will not delay, reduce or otherwise affect your payout.
Yes. You can register your interest now and our agents will file your R40 tax rebate claim in the correct tax year once your Evolution Funding compensation is paid. The FCA expects most compensation payments to be made from 2026 onwards.
HMRC typically processes R40 repayment forms within 6–8 weeks of receipt. Our agents handle all HMRC communication and will keep you updated throughout.
