Employment Expenses
Relief for certain costs required by your work
Tax relief may be available for eligible employment expenses that you paid yourself and were not reimbursed. Depending on your circumstances, this could include approved professional subscriptions, cleaning or replacing a specialist uniform, small tools, or certain costs of working from home.
The expense must meet the relevant rules; simply using something for work may not be enough.
Evidence may include:
-
Receipts or invoices
-
Membership records
-
Proof of payment
-
Employment documents or job requirements
-
Details of employer reimbursements
Disclaimer: Tax relief is available only for expenses that meet the relevant employment-expense rules. Paying for or using an item for work does not automatically make it allowable. Eligibility depends on the nature of the expense, your employment requirements, any private use and whether your employer reimbursed you.
