P.A.Y.E tax rebate question

Jilly666

I work as P.A.Y.E employee with a tax code of 747L, weekly each employee whether S/E or P.A.Y.E pays for van hire some of the blokes get to keep the vans daily and weekends also but I don't drive and am picked up daily.the van hire is deducted from my wages weekly of £25.00 2010-11, £35.00 11-12, it is deducted by the employer after tax N.I deductions,also as I am a painter and decorator have to supply my own tools also,surely this is expenses that are coming out of my personal allowance. Could anyone advise to whether I am entitled to claim for this as I can find nothing on the government website concerning this.this.
Hopefully I have given all the information needed.

P.S. I am a male 20yrs no dependants. I have used the M.S.E tax calculator all correct, but couldn't state the extra expenses I have.van hire alone equates to over 1500 yearly. Thanks in advance_pale_:idea:

Cant think why you should have to pay van hire if you dont have one to be honest.

IMO the cost of van hire is an expense that you can claim against your taxable income.

You should also be able to claim for the cost of your tools and equipment.

You need to write to HMR&C explaining what you paid in each year and asking for tax relief.
