   TCC NEEDS

 

"When we accept tough jobs as a challenge,

and wade into them with joy and enthusiasm,

miracles can happen."

Arland Gilbert

 

Now, more than ever, we need as many active volunteers as we can get. Our reputation, and the use overpayment victims, the media and politicians are making of us is all rapidly increasing. We need to continue to provide the lifeline and level of support we have been doing, while we continue to intensify our campaign.

There are no specific vacancies at the moment - but if you would like to join us, please get in touch. Go to our contacts page.


Voluntary work
As we are entirely voluntary staffed and an unfunded organisation we are not able to offer any wages for our posts. The main active volunteers meet the expenses of hosting the website and forum, advertising, printing, travel and other cost themselves. Donations to TCC are currently spent on the larger costs such as venue hire for meetings etc.

Expenses involved
Some of the roles below would involve a small cost to the post holder:  i.e. postage, call costs etc., and if you are interested, but don’t feel you can meet the out of pocket expenses, please let us know (no personal or financial questions will be asked). Donations are starting to trickle in now, and it would be better if they went towards helping someone to help us, rather than losing out on a useful member of the group because of too tight a budget.

Who is suitable?
If you are not sure if the post would suit you, just get in contact to discuss it a bit more. We would be happy to define roles, or maybe change things around if needed. Don’t be shy or unsure, we are not looking for executive manager types, we are looking for friendly, capable and helpful people - just like you !

Rewards
Why do it? We all need each other to win this fight. Remember when you needed us? From helping victims stave off poverty, to letting them know that they are actually not alone. The grateful e-mails and calls come in thick and fast around here; so do the successes we have helping people to fight their cases, and the policy reforms we have already helped achieve.

Remember
TCC are people just like you. We always have, and will continue to, work with what we have got because we all have our strengths and talents and between us we have all that we need to beat HMRC and Gordon Brown.

 

"Never doubt that a small group of concerned people can change the world. 

Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

Tax Credit Casualties (TCC) is a voluntary, unfunded, not for profit organisation run by members for members. We cannot take any responsibility for decisions made by HMRC, The Parliamentary Ombudsman, The Adjudicator, or any other organisation, regarding claimants cases. We offer free advice on how to dispute unfair overpayments based on our own experiences, the experiences of other claimants and HMRC guidelines.
Please note that we are not tax professionals and are working on a voluntary basis, unpaid, in our ‘free time’. Between us, we have a lot of experience and knowledge in this area, gained over the last few years of supporting victims and helping them fight for justice and their rights. Legislation, operating practices and individual cases change all the time, and while we aim to be professional and accurate at all times, please understand the circumstances we are working under and accept our support, guidance and information in the sprit it is offered; goodwill and camaraderie.

Our Standards
TCC was established to provide advice and guidance on disputing recovery of non-fraud tax credit overpayments and to lobby for fundamental change on the inbuilt flaws and inequalities of the tax credit system. Whilst TCC provide guidance and information on how to handle disputes and even provide an advocacy service in some instances, neither TCC as an organisation not any participating members are responsible or liable for outcomes of disputes which remain wholly the remit of HMRC, the Adjudicator and/or the Parliamentary Ombudsman, as appropriate and dependent on the stage of dispute. TCC operate in a professional manner and endeavour to give accurate and appropriate advice based on information provided by members. TCC endeavour to respond to members as quickly and efficiently as possible, given the voluntary nature of the organisation and limited resources available. TCC is an inclusive organisation and will treat all members in a fair and equitable manner.
