Claim tax relief for your job expenses

You might be able to claim tax relief if:

• you use your own money for things that you must buy for your job
• you only use these things for your work

You cannot claim tax relief if your employer either gives you:

• all the money back
• an alternative, for example your employer gives you a laptop but you want a different type or model

You must have paid tax in the year. You’ll get tax relief based on what you’ve spent and the rate at which you pay tax.

Example:- If you spent £60 and pay tax at a rate of 20% in that year, the tax relief you can claim is £12.

What can you claim tax relief on?

1. Uniforms, work clothing and tools
2. Vehicles you use for work
3. Travel and overnight expenses
4. Professional fees and subscriptions
5. Working at home
6. Buying other equipment

So, how much can you claim?

You can either claim:

• the actual amount you’ve spent – you’ll need to keep receipts
• an agreed fixed amount (a ‘flat rate expense’ or ‘flat rate deduction’)
