Background
Employees who spend their own money on expenses necessary for their job, such as washing their work uniform, may be eligible to claim tax relief on these costs.
It’s important that employees understand what tax reliefs they may be eligible for. They can claim direct with HMRC, for free, to receive 100% of any money due.
How you can help
We have provided these communications resources for stakeholders to use across your own channels to help share important information with your workforce.
We want employees to:
- know which expenses they are eligible to claim for
- understand how to make a claim
We want employers to:
- help their workforce understand what they are entitled to
- pass on information to their employees explaining how to claim
- share the campaign messaging on their channels
Guidance
The resources should be used in conjunction with guidance on the types of expenses which can be claimed for and information on eligibility.
