Reservation of Rights

We reserve the right to remove and or cancel our Reclaiming Taxes and Expenses Service at our discretion any purchases made before the date of removal in relation to our Reclaiming Taxes and Expenses Service will be honoured.

We also reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time. By making a new purchase, you agree to be bound to and follow the terms and conditions in place at the time and date of your purchase.

Our Service

We go back through four years of your tax returns and calculate whether you overpaid any PAYE, Universal Social Charge or Income Levy.

We also look at your Medical Expenses and any Flat Rate Expenses on which you may be owed repayment.

By providing your information you authorise Flare Accounting Solutions to act as your agent in regard to all aspects of your income tax. We are an independent entity and the Revenue Commissioners of Ireland have made no endorsement of us or any such agency. We cannot accept any responsibility for any problem encountered by you in dealing with them.

This agreement remains in place until you or we notify the Revenue Commissioner in writing of your/our wish to cancel this agreement.

We retain a copy of all documentation relating to any refund or allowance or relief claimed by us on your behalf for the minimum period of time required by law. We do this as we may be required by Revenue to produce this to support your claims.

Our Fees

If your refund comes to above €500.00 we take 5% plus VAT of the refund as our fee.

Our minimum fee is €25.00 plus VAT. If your total refund is less than this amount, we use the entirety of your refund as settlement for the services provided.

If there is no refund, we do not take a fee for our services.

Payment Terms

By providing us with the necessary information to reclaim your Taxes and Expenses you consent to any refund or repayment of PAYE/Universal Social Charge or Income Levy due to yourself, by the Revenue Commissioners, being paid into our bank account by Electronic Funds Transfer.

The following bank account held by Flare Accounting Solutions is used to facilitate these payments;

Bank: Allied Irish Banks

Name of Account Holder: Flare Accounting Solutions

IBAN: IE78AIBK93702923699267

BIC Code: AIBKIE2D

We will update the bank account details with our own on your revenue record for the duration of our service. These bank details will remain on your revenue record until either you or we remove them.

Any refund made by the Revenue Commissioners to us, acting as your agent, will be treated as it is was being refunded directly to yourself. Once we receive this payment from the Revenue Commissioner you have no further call upon on them in respect of the same.

As your tax agents we are solely responsible to you in respect of any refund we receive from the Revenue Commissioner on your behalf. Once a refund, if any, is received from revenue we take our fee as outlined above. The balance is then refunded back to yourself.

Providing Flare Accounting Solutions with your information either in response to our emails or on our data capture forms does not automatically create a legal obligation to make payment. However, it does mean you have agreed to our terms and conditions and to our privacy policy.
