Legislation
Tax relief on expenses
Date
Ongoing requirement
Summary
Employees may be able to get tax relief on expenses if employers haven’t already reimbursed them. This includes things like:
-
Uniforms and work clothing
-
Buying equipment
-
Professional fees and subscriptions
-
Using their own vehicles for work travel (this does not mean their journey from home to work)
-
Working from home
Anyone can check if they’re eligible to claim on GOV.UK and if they are, they can set up a Government Gateway user ID to access their personal tax account and claim online.
There are companies who will make a claim on an individual’s behalf. Their fees can be up to 50% of the refund and may also include an administration charge.
The benefit of applying to HMRC through GOV.UK is that individuals get to keep all the money they’re entitled to.
