Work Tools & Equipment Refund

Claim back tax relief on work tools and equipment you paid for yourself.

What Is Work Tools & Equipment Refund Claim?

If you purchased tools or equipment required for your job and were not reimbursed by your employer, you may be entitled to claim tax relief.

Many employees and tradespeople pay for essential items themselves without realising they can recover part of the cost through tax relief.

You may be able to backdate your claim for the last 4 tax years.

You May Be Eligible If

You may qualify if:

  • You purchased tools, equipment, or specialist items for work.
  • Your employer did not reimburse you.
  • The items are necessary for your role.
  • You pay income tax.

This claim allows you to recover tax relief on eligible work-related expenses.

Work tools and equipment refunds are just one of many high-value UK claims and reliefs you may be entitled to — and we help you access them all with ease.
