Legal Information and Terms of Usage


By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, we will ensure your personal information is protected, as described in our Privacy Policy.


Our Guarantee


Peak Finance Solutions guarantees that it will use its best endeavours to organise any due refund of income tax for people who have worked in Ireland.


Peak Finance Solutions will organise the refund of the maximum amount possible based on the information and documentation provided by its customers and in line with the legal entitlements and obligations of the customer within the Irish tax law.


Where there is a change in the applicable tax law or in the interpretation or implementation of the rules and laws by the Irish tax authority, Peak Finance Solutions will meet its commitment to organise the refund to the degree allowed by the law. The decision of the exact value of any refund due or amount owed is the decision of the Revenue Commissioners.


Peak Finance Solutions will provide the refund as expediently as possible, subject to the provision of the necessary documents by the customers and the efficient processing of the refund application by the relevant tax office.


Exceptions to our tax refund responsibilities


Peak Finance Solutions is not responsible for the refund of tax where:


· the customer has provided information which is false, inaccurate, incorrect, insufficient or misleading in any way;
· the customer has already received a refund;
· the customer has already applied for a refund, either directly or through another person, natural or legal;
· the customer owes money to the tax authority.
· the tax authority has different information on its system than that provided by the customer
· the tax authority information leads to a decision that the customer is not due a refund. Where there is a possible case for appeal within the law, such measures will be taken by Peak Finance Solutions, where the customer information enables it to do so.


Peak Finance Solutions will endeavour to help the customer resolve these issues, provided it receives all necessary information and instruction from the customer.

Authorisation Form PAYE A1/A2


When the customer signs an Authorisation Form PAYE A1 or A2 permitting Peak Finance Solutions to organise his/her refunds, he/she is agreeing to pay the fee to Peak Finance Solutions for the organisation of the refund. If the customer has signed Authorisation form PAYE A1 authorising Peak Finance Solutions to organise his/her refunds, and has, with or without his or her knowledge, applied or authorised any other person, natural or legal, to organise the same refund, he/she will owe Peak Finance Solutions the fee for the organisation of a refund, notwithstanding that the customer has obtained a refund otherwise than with the assistance of Peak Finance Solutions.


If the relevant tax office sends the due refund to the customer directly, rather than to Peak Finance Solutions, the customer still owes the processing fee in full to Peak Finance Solutions for the service rendered, which resulted in the issuing of the refund.


If the customer does not pay this fee, pursuant to the information above on a voluntary basis or on request from Peak Finance Solutions, Peak Finance Solutions reserves the right to:


1. Take legal action to pursue the customer for the fee due
2. Publish the name of the customer as a Bad Debtor in the local newspaper, on the Peak Finance Solutions website and other media if the fee has not been paid within the rational terms given.
3. Report the customer as a Bad Debtor to the relevant financial institutions in Ireland.
Once authorised and registered as your tax agent with the Revenue, all correspondence regarding your application must be handled directly by Peak Finance Solutions. Any measure taken by you, the customer, to make direct contact with the tax office without first consulting Peak Finance Solutions will be considered as a breach of contract and our relevant processing fee will still apply for all processing work completed by us during the application process.

You understand that you will be contacted by Peak Finance Solutions after using any of the online forms. You can opt out of receiving any further correspondence by emailing unsubscribe@peakfinancesolutions.com

You understand that while Peak Finance Solutions will make every effort to recall your application, this may not be possible.


Emails


All emails to the customer will be sent to the email address provided by the customer at registration. Peak Finance Solutions will expect that the customer will ensure there is sufficient space in his/her inbox to receive all emails and that the customer checks his/her email regularly – regularly being about three times a week.


Minimum Fee


Peak Finance Solutions has a minimum fee of €40 plus handling fee for each tax refund application. 10% of the total refund due is charged where the refund amount is above €400.

Refund Issuance


Peak Finance Solutions will send the refund to the customer as agreed per communication with the customer where Authorisation Form PAYE A2 was signed.


Depending on the tax being refunded, the usual method is by bank transfer. Tax refunds received by bank transfer can be transferred to the customer’s account. Customers may also opt to receive their tax refund by cheque. Peak Finance Solutions will contact the customer at the time of refund to offer different payment options and at this stage should be supplied with bank details for the refund transfer.


Where Peak Finance Solutions receives the money from the tax office, it will deduct its fee from the amount sent to the customer.


Communications


Unless requested to do otherwise by the customer, Peak Finance Solutions will advise current and past customers of: 
· All new refunds that they may be entitled to as and when information becomes available from the Revenue;
· All new services that they may avail of with Peak Finance Solutions;
