Not listed? Most employed people who pay for their own travel, uniform or kit can claim. Run the free check and we tell you in 60 seconds.

Paid through CIS?

Subcontractors with 20% or 30% deducted need a Self Assessment return, not a PAYE claim. We file the whole return for £220 plus VAT and most subcontractors get money back.

Questions

My job is not on the list.

The list covers the jobs we see most. The rules are the same for everyone employed on PAYE: if you pay for work travel, uniform, tools or professional fees yourself, you can usually claim. Start the check and we work from your HMRC record.

I have had more than one job in the last 4 years.

Normal, and it all counts. Linking your HMRC record shows every employer, so one claim covers all of them.

I work through an agency.

It depends how you are managed. If the agency or client supervises, directs or controls how you work, the trip from home to each placement counts as commuting and cannot be claimed. Travel between clients or sites during the working day can still count, and uniform, fees and tools apply as normal. Many of our clients work through agencies or staff banks.

How much does it cost?

37.5% plus VAT of the refund, minimum £45 plus VAT. No refund, no fee. Nothing upfront. Full fee page.

Whatever the job, the check takes a minute.

Free check. No refund, no fee. Average refund £2,972.
