Employees that are eligible for a tax refund on work-related expenses are being urged to file their claims directly through HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), which will guarantee that people will get 100% of their claim.
The online service can be used by employees to check their eligibility in claiming a tax refund from work expenses, with HMRC stating that a claim can take ‘just 15 minutes.’
Suzanne Newton, HMRC’s Interim Director General for Transformation, said: “Christmas can be an expensive time of the year and for many, it could be a good opportunity to claim a tax refund on work expenses to boost finances. Latest figures show the average claim is £125 a year. But the only way to guarantee receiving 100% of your eligible refund is by claiming direct through HMRC. Just search ‘tax relief for expenses’ on GOV.UK to find out more.”
