If you’ve had to pay for work-related expenses that your employer hasn’t reimbursed, you may be able to claim Income Tax relief.

How to claim

• If you file a Self-Assessment tax return, include your claim in the employment section.
• If you don’t file a tax return, you can use HMRC’s online P87 form to make a claim. (This form was temporarily unavailable due to incorrect claims but is now back in use.)
• You’ll need to provide evidence of your expenses.

What can you claim for?

You can claim tax relief on costs like:

• Working from home (if your contract requires it).
• Repairing or replacing a uniform or small tools.
• Travel for work (not including commuting to your usual workplace).
• Professional fees and memberships related to your job.

If any of these apply to you, it’s worth checking if you can get some tax back!
