Fantastic experience

Fantastic experience. When a colleague informed me of RIFT, I thought it was too good to be true. But after chatting to a member of the team and completing a few forms online taking no more than 30 mins, I found I was eligible for a refund over £3000 which I’ve now received. Amazing.

Mak IIic was incredible to work with! He made the entire tax refund process very easy and stress-free, no headaches. He explained everything clearly, took his time to answer all my questions and made sure that I understood everything. He was always very professional and polite. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure his clients feel comfortable. I’d recommend him to anyone, he’s honestly the best! Thank you again Mak! Cheers
