The cost of living increase means it’s never been more important for your employees to claim tax relief on work-related expenses. HMRC want to encourage employees to claim money they are entitled to using the HMRC online service.
You can support
HMRC and your employees by passing on the useful messages below using your
internal newsletters, websites, meetings, notice boards and other communication
routes.

to employees
Some employees
can get tax relief on expenses their employer has not reimbursed them for. This
includes things like:
●
uniforms
and work clothing
●
equipment
purchases
●
professional
fees and subscriptions
●
using
their own vehicles for work travel (excluding their journey from home to work)
●
working
from home
The first step
in making a claim is to check if you are eligible using the eligibility
checker.
If you qualify, then you can go ahead and make a claim using your Government
Gateway account. If you do not have a Government Gateway account, it
is easy to set one up. Submitting a claim is quick and straightforward.
There are also
other ways to make sure you keep more cash in your pocket, such as Tax-Free
Childcare, marriage allowance, Child Benefit and more. You can check what financial support is available from
HMRC.
Make sure you do not miss out!
