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 Specialist Motor Finance 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 Mercedes-Benz & the FCA Compensation Scheme
Mercedes-Benz Financial Services UK Ltd is the captive finance arm of Mercedes-Benz in the UK, providing PCP and HP agreements for Mercedes-Benz and AMG vehicles through the franchised dealer network. Mercedes-Benz Financial Services is among the lenders subject to the FCA's motor finance investigation, with UK agreements entered between April 2007 and November 2024 falling within the scope of the industry-wide redress scheme.
Where Mercedes-Benz Financial Services pays compensation including statutory interest, HMRC automatically deducts 20% income tax before the funds are released. Basic-rate and non-taxpayers can reclaim this via an R40 repayment form — a process entirely handled by our HMRC-registered agents.
The tax rebate is completely separate from your Mercedes-Benz Financial Services compensation. It does not affect your payout, has no bearing on the FCA process, and requires no further contact with Mercedes-Benz Financial Services. We prepare and submit the R40 and handle all HMRC correspondence.
Am I Eligible to Reclaim Tax on My Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Compensation?
In general, you may qualify if all three of the following apply to you:
Condition 1 / 3
You received compensation from Mercedes-Benz Financial Services — via the FCA’s formal redress scheme, a standalone complaint, or a Financial Ombudsman Service decision.
Condition 2 / 3
Mercedes-Benz Financial Services deducted tax from your payout. This is confirmed in the Final Response Letter from Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, 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.
