Small Tools Allowance

ManicMum

Hello

Inland revenue agreed an £80 tools allowance for my husband.

He is employed but has to provide own tools. I can not remember how to claim - does this come off the tax return or should HMRC adjust the tax code?

Also, what happens when you no longer do a tax return? He is doing for 09/10 as we had a rental property and will have to do one for 10/11 but after that he will be tax return free (yippee!).

thanks

If he completes a tax return, he includes the £80 under expenses on the employment pages. If he no longer SA's., he just needs to ring his tax office and ask them to include it in his code.

thanks for that
