Teachers Claim
Tax Relief Service for Teachers
Who Can Claim?
Teachers and other education professionals, including primary and secondary school teachers, lecturers, higher education professionals, and teaching assistants, are eligible to claim teacher tax rebate on various work-related expenses such as professional subscriptions, specialist clothing, and other job-related costs.
This list is not exhaustive, so it’s always worth checking if you qualify for tax relief.
In general, if you incur job-related expenses that are not fully reimbursed by your employer, you may be eligible to claim a teacher tax rebate & refund. Even if you are only partially reimbursed, you may still be able to claim tax relief on the difference.
Tax Rebate Service for Teachers
Primary and secondary school teachers often spend their own money on essential items for their jobs. Here are some examples of expenses you may be able to claim tax relief on:
Washing of Specialist Clothing
If you are required to wash any uniform or specialist clothing provided by your employer, you can claim an allowance for this expense.
Sports Kit: If you are contractually obliged to teach or supervise pupils for physical education (PE) or sports lessons and need to purchase sports kit, you can claim tax relief for this clothing.
Lab Coats/Art Overalls: Tax relief can be given for cleaning, replacing, or repairing uniform or specialist clothing. You may be eligible to claim a £60 flat rate allowance per year for the cost of washing your uniform or specialist clothing at home.
Using Your Own Car for Work Purposes
Teachers who travel to different schools for work, such as specialist music teachers or peripatetic teachers, may qualify for travel expenses.
While you can’t claim for commuting to one permanent place of employment, you may be able to make a claim for other business mileage related to your teaching duties.
Professional Fees
You may also be eligible to claim teacher tax rebate & relief on professional fees associated with your teaching role, such as membership fees to relevant professional bodies or organizations.
