Tool Tax back??

Hello people,
I am now a fully trained mechanic in a large 'main dealer'. I started my apprenticeship seven years ago with no tools/equipment what so ever. Over the last seven years I have bought all my own tools (except specialist dealer supplied tools and electrical diagnosis equipment). My total tool bill is well over four grand. I have been informed it should be possible to claim the tax back (or at least some of it) as this equipment is required for me to work. All the searches ive carried out just seem to send me down dead ends or to companies who claim to be able to do it for me for a fee!! Anyone with any info on the subject would be greatly appreciated!!
Cheers all.

Are you self employed or employed?
It sounds like you are employed in which case the company you work for should be buying your tools needed for the job and dealing with the relavant tax issues.
