Thousands of Nurses do not claim their tax back! - My Tax Rebate

CORONAVIRUS has seen the UK shut down in order to slow the spread of COVID-19, but while millions are instructed to follow stringent rules on staying at home, key workers are out there saving lives and carrying out essential work.

The incredible work of NHS staff and other key workers is something which has been honoured by the UK population in recent weeks. The weekly “Clap for carers” tribute not only recognises the efforts of NHS employees, but also salutes the tremendous work being carried out by other key workers – from delivery drivers and supermarket staff, to care workers and bin collectors. Sadly, the coronavirus pandemic has had a devastating impact not only in the UK but across the world. Hundreds and thousands of people have sadly lost their lives, and so many others losing their loved ones.

The crisis is also having an impact on the UK economy too, and as the UK lockdown continues, many are worrying about job security and finances.

With making ends meet being a significant worry for so many right now, millions of UK workers are being reminded that they may be missing out on tax entitlements – something which could help to take some of the pressure off.

In fact, one in three UK taxpayers can get a tax rebate, and many of these entitlements can be backdated to five years if they haven’t been claimed before.

This includes rebates for uniformed workers – something which will apply to many key workers in the coronavirus crisis.

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 HMRC uniform tax rebate.

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.

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.

How do I apply for Uniform Tax Refund?

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.

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

And remember, these tax reliefs are there, just for you. If you need any more information about your Tax Rebate then do not hesitate to CONTACT us or simply fill out our UNIFORM TAX CALCULATOR.
Stay safe…
