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 Moneybarn 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 Honda & the FCA Compensation Scheme
Honda Finance Europe plc (HFE) provides PCP and HP agreements for Honda cars and motorcycles in the UK, operating as a captive lender through Honda's UK dealer network. Honda Finance Europe is among the lenders named in the FCA's motor finance investigation, with agreements entered between April 2007 and November 2024 potentially within scope of the industry-wide redress scheme covering discretionary commission arrangements.
When Honda Finance Europe pays compensation including statutory interest, HMRC requires 20% income tax to be deducted before the payment reaches you. Basic-rate taxpayers and non-taxpayers can reclaim this deduction from HMRC via an R40 form — a straightforward process our registered agents handle entirely on your behalf.
Your Honda Finance tax rebate claim is separate from the FCA compensation process. It does not affect your Honda Finance settlement and requires no further contact with Honda Finance Europe. We prepare and submit the R40, and any HMRC repayment is passed directly to you.
Am I Eligible to Reclaim Tax on My Honda Finance Europe Compensation?
In general, you may qualify if all three of the following apply to you:
Condition 1 / 3
You received compensation from Honda Finance Europe — via the FCA’s formal redress scheme, a standalone complaint, or a Financial Ombudsman Service decision.
Condition 2 / 3
Honda Finance Europe deducted tax from your payout. This is confirmed in the Final Response Letter from Honda Finance Europe, 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.
