A tax refund or rebate is the money that you get back if you paid too much tax. There are many different circumstances which mean you may qualify for a tax rebate. For instance, if you are travelling to a temporary workplace and paying your own way there, you could be eligible for a tax refund. Furthermore, on average, a 4-year tax refund can amount to as much as £2,500 for some first-time PAYE taxpayers! Other reasons why you could qualify for a tax rebate is if you wear and spent money on cleaning and repairing a work uniform. If this is the case, you cannot claim money on the purchase of the uniform but rather on the cleaning of the uniform. If you have your own car which you travel to multiple sites or a temporary workplace, this travel is called the work or business mileage, which is travel other than your permanent place of work travel, and this too can be claimed. If your pay union fees or subscription fees are connected to your employment, this could also entitle you to a rebate. Also, if you paid for your own small tools for work purposes only, then these could also be entitled to tax rebate claim. Did you know that it is free to find out if you qualify for a tax rebate?
