Our Services
Further information about what you can claim for is shown below. However, this list is not exhaustive, as virtually any expense that you have to pay yourself, as part of your work, could entitle you to a tax refund. Just tell us everything you pay, and we can let you know!
PPI Reclaim
If you've already successfully reclaimed Payment Protection Insurance (PPI), there's more good news: you may now be eligible to reclaim any tax deducted from the interest included in your award. It is highly likely that tax was automatically deducted and so you will almost certainly be able to make a claim. This change in regulations opens up new possibilities for you to recover funds.
Beyond PPI, many individuals encounter various work-related expenses, such as travel costs (fuel, hotel stays, meals on the road), uniform replacement, and tools procurement. Even in the modern work landscape, some folks face expenses when working from home, like heating and lighting.
This list is not exhaustive, and you could potentially seek a tax rebate for nearly any work-related expense you personally incur. Our commitment is to help you secure a tax refund from HMRC if you fall into any of these categories.
What's more, our 'no win, no fee' policy ensures that you won't have to pay unless we succeed. We're dedicated to providing you with the best service and will assist you every step of the way.
Due to a change in tax treatment on savings interest, any compensatory interest paid to you as part of your PPI refund can now fall under the Personal Savings Allowance and is potentially eligible to be claimed back.
Travelling expenses
Did you know that you are eligible to claim tax rebates on 45p per mile for business travel undertaken in your own car or van? Or up to 25p per mile in a company car or van?
You can also claim tax relief on 24p per mile for using a motorcycle for work and 20p per mile for using a bicycle! Who would have thought that you claim tax relief for riding a bike.
You can also claim 5p per mile for any passengers that travel with you.
The rules for what constitutes business travel are often complex. But you can sometimes claim for a lot more than you might think. For example, a construction worker can often claim for the travel to various temporary sites that they attend. Even if its to the same site every day, for up to two years.
You can also claim tax rebates on the cost of hotels and any food that you purchased whilst travelling away.
Payments Whilst Working From Home
HMRC introduced a weekly allowance in 2020 to help cover the additional cost of working at home due to Covid 19. This allowance is still ongoing. It is designed to reimburse you for the additional costs that you are likely to incur in working from home, such as for heating and lighting etc.
Even if you only worked from home for one day in the entire year, then you are eligible to claim a tax refund because of this. Please note that you can only claim if it was a requirement of your employer, rather than your personal choice.
The allowance is £6 per week and so the refund due to you would be either 20% or 40% of £312, depending on whether you are a lower or higher rate taxpayer. However, you may be eligible to claim this for the three tax years from 2020/21 to 2022/23.
Uniform Expenses
If you wear a uniform for work and have to fund the costs of washing or replacing it, you are likely to be eligible for a tax refund.
This can include more formal uniforms, such as those worn by nurses, police, doctors, and chefs etc. But it can also include more general items of clothing if they contain a company logo.
Tools
If you pay for or maintain the tools that you need for work, then you may be eligible for a tax rebate on your costs. There is an annual allowance that can be claimed, depending on which trade you are in. Alternatively, you can claim the exact costs if you have kept the receipts.
Telephone Calls
If you have to pay for phone calls that you make for work, either on a landline or mobile phone, then you may be able to claim a tax rebate on the cost of the calls. Please note that you are unable to claim if your contract gives you an included allowance, that is used for both business and private calls. You can claim for just the additional cost that you have had to pay for making business calls.
Miscellaneous Expenses
If you had to pay it, you may be able to claim it! Let us know about any payment you were required to pay for work, that is not included in the above list.
