Fees
5.1. If your Claim is successful, you agree to pay us a Success Fee equal to 39% of the rebate amount recovered plus VAT, subject to a minimum fee of £75 + VAT per Claim.

5.3. If you: (i) fail to sign and return HMRC forms within the timeframe required; (ii) fail to provide AML/KYC documentation within the timeframe required; (iii) cancel after the Cooling-Off Period; (iv) withdraw your cooperation; or (v) otherwise prevent us from submitting your Claim — you agree to pay an Administration Fee as follows: £60 + VAT for Financial Mis-Selling Claims; £60 + VAT for Workplace Expenses (P87) Claims; £150 + VAT for Marriage Allowance Claims.
