Having put more than £150 million in tax refunds back in the hands of over 75,000 Armed Forces personnel, RIFT understands how much it can mean to handle extra costs; not only during long deployments, but coming home can carry challenges of its own, too – many of them financial. Loss of deployed allowances, increased household costs and ‘making up for lost time’ family outings, meals out with friends and family can all put a strain on finances. It takes a little foresight and planning, but being aware of the challenges is the first and most important step toward overcoming them. 

As recipients of the Armed Forces Covenant’s Gold award, RIFT is proud to serve the UK’s military community. From our range of free budgeting tools to our tax refund service, we have the expertise and experience to help you tackle financial challenges and make the very most of your money.   

Sarah Clewes, Naval Families Federation CEO shared: “We are incredibly grateful to RIFT for their donation, which has allowed us to update and enhance some of our family-focused resources. Their deep understanding of the realities of long deployments and the financial pressures faced by naval families, particularly the fluctuations in income depending on service at sea or ashore, is impressive.  The opportunity to better understand, access uniform tax and other service-related allowance refunds is welcome expert advice for busy naval families”. 

“At RIFT, we’re proud to support the Naval Families Federation and the vital work they do. We understand the unique challenges naval families face, and we’re committed to helping them navigate the financial landscape with clarity and confidence.” – Bradley Post, RIFT CEO
