Don't miss out on a tax refund for work expenses, HMRC urges
Winner of the “Best Cloud Accounting Firm 2016” award

HMRC is urging employed workers to make sure they don't miss out when they claim a refund on work-related expenses.

More than 800,000 taxpayers claimed refunds for work expenses during the 2021/22 tax year.

Although the average claim was £125, over 70% of claimants missed out on getting the full amount they were due.

Jonathan Athow, HMRC's Director General for Customer Strategy and Tax Design, said:

'Every penny counts and we want to make sure employed workers are getting what they deserve - their hard-earned cash straight back into their pockets.'

Calculating work-related expenses can be complex, please contact us for advice.
