As front-line workers, the NHS are really up against it in 2021. The threat of Covid-19 is still very real and in some respects at its height, with the government not committing to pay rises for these modern-day hero’s, the financial implications are extremely difficult.

That’s why it’s hard to believe that 70% of those in uniform are not claiming tax back on Uniforms, Unison membership, Subscriptions (RCN – RCM) & Working from home tax relief.

This is what Uniform Tax Relief you could be claiming: 

UNIFORMS:

Do you wear a uniform or protective clothing at work? and you  pay for your own washing? If so, you could be due a uniform tax rebate from HMRC.

UNISON MEMBERSHIP:

If you have are a member of unison you can claim back up to 70% of your yearly membership.

SUBSCRIPTIONS:

Do you have subscriptions such as Royal College of Nursing or The Royal College of Midwifes? Then you could claim back 20% for each one, each year.

WORKING FROM HOME:

As of 20 April 2020, you can now claim back £6 a week if you a working from home! Before this date you can claim £4 a week.

How do I apply for Uniform Tax relief?

It takes a couple of minutes to enter your claim. Once it’s been submitted to us it depends on how busy HMRC are, usually it takes them between 4 and 12 weeks to respond to a tax rebate claim.

When you submit a claim with us, we will not only claim a refund for prior years, but we’ll also apply to change your tax code to ensure that you receive the relevant tax reliefs directly in your pay. You will receive notification of your new tax code from HMRC.

Who Can Claim a Uniform Tax Rebate?

NHS and private nurses will be able to claim for the above as long as they are PAYE workers. Employees on the PAYE scheme have tax deducted from their wage as they earn. This will be most healthcare and NHS nurses.

You can also backdate your claim to the last previous 4 tax years, you can also claim for completed part of the current tax year. We will get the previous years refunded as a single payment. The rest will be paid in your wages, as will any future tax relief.

Well done to all the amazing front line workers out there!!!
