Workers can claim a rebate on their expenses and get and an early present from HMRC.
Millions of employees in the service industry could collect an early Christmas present from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
Workers, including nurses, hairdressers, construction workers and people working in retail and food sectors, may be able to claim rebates.
Staff in these types of roles sometimes have to dip into their own pockets to pay for work-related expenses like car mileage, replacing or repairing small tools, or maintaining branded uniforms.
Financial Secretary to the Treasury, Mel Stride MP, said:
We know what a difference tax relief can make to hard-working customers, especially at this time of year. HMRC is keen to make sure customers get all the relief they’re entitled to.
The majority of claims are for repairing or replacing tools and branded uniforms, professional subscriptions and mileage. Healthcare workers, people working in food and retail, and those in the construction industry are among the top professions to claim from HMRC.
Customers may be able to claim tax relief on the cost of:
- repairing or replacing small tools needed to do their job (for example, scissors or an electric drill).
- cleaning, repairing, or replacing specialist clothing (for example, a branded uniform or safety boots).
- business mileage (not commuting).
- travel and overnight expenses.
- professional fees and subscriptions.
