Can I claim my Guernsey tax refund myself?
Every tax office in the world is set up to accept applications directly from taxpayers so yes, you can file your return yourself. The reality is though once you submit it, there's no updating process and no feedback until you get a yes or a no, which is frustrating and very worrying.
Preparing your Guernsey tax return will involve getting all the tax forms and trying to put all the information together properly – and it's not as easy as it looks.
The tax system in Guernsey is very complex and filing their own tax return is a challenge many Guernsey citizens don't even attempt themselves.
At the end of the day ask yourself -
Would I wire my own house?
The reality is no, I wouldn't - I'd use an electrician.
It's a technical, professional piece of work, so I'd get a technical professional to do the job properly. I don't want to risk my house blowing up!
It's the same with tax. Our taxback.com customers rely on us as technical professionals to file their Guernsey tax returns and get their tax back. Our customers tell us they knew trying to file it themselves would lead to stress and a possible loss of money in refunds. They'd rather focus on their university courses, their day-job or, more importantly, on sightseeing.
Filing your return yourself won't make your house explode, but it can result in lots of stress and leave you out of pocket if you miss out on refunds you're owed.
It's easier for you to let us put our 11 years of experience to good use by doing all the work for you. It makes sense to use an expert.

Can you guarantee that I'll get the refund amount you estimated for me?
No, but we do guarantee to get you the most money back that we legally can.
Our estimate is based on your documents and our experience in filing thousands of tax returns every week since 1996. Naturally, the Guernsey tax authority has the final decision in your tax refund based on their systems and tax codes.
When we process your application, our team of tax technicians check all your documents for any allowances or benefits you could get to ensure we apply for the maximum rebate possible.

What's the difference between filing my tax return and getting my tax refund?
We file your Guernsey tax return in order to organise your tax refund.
A tax return is the annual submission of tax forms documenting your earnings, taxes paid, deductable expenses, and allowances that you send to the tax office for review. They review it according to the information submitted by your employer and the current laws that apply to your case.
If you get a tax rebate, this means the tax office review found you have overpaid tax in Guernsey and are due some back.
Our estimate of your refund is based on our prediction of what the tax office will decide when they review your tax return - providing they have the same information as us.
