in Cutting tax
My brother works as an electrician and has to buy his own tools.
How does he claim tax back on this? Does he write to his tax office and explain this?
Cheers.

There is a fixed rate deduction for electricians - he just needs to write to his tax office and ask for it. He can claim back up to 6 yrs - and make sure he receives a cheque refund and not a coding change!£705,000 raised by client groups in the past 18 mths :beer:0

Thanks for that, I'll pass this info on. I am about to get him to write to his tax office to claim tax relief for washing his uniform at home - Do I include the tools in this or is it a seperate letter or is it the same tax relief?

The fixed rate deduction is designed to cover all the expenses an electrician might incur - tools, protective wear, laundry, etc. If he has spent more than the fixed rate deduction, then he can claim the extra costs, but he will need to show receipts and tools for which he claims must be replacements.£705,000 raised by client groups in the past 18 mths :beer:0
