When you travel to temporary workplaces for your job in security, you’re probably stacking up some out-of-pocket expenses. Those costs mean you’re owed some tax back from HMRC. If you’re not getting the full allowances you’re entitled to from your employer, then you could claim a tax refund for anything from your work mileage and SIA license fees to the upkeep of your essential gear and uniform.
Security workers may be able to claim tax back for travel to temporary workplaces, mileage, SIA licence fees, uniform upkeep, essential gear, food and laundry. The average 4 year tax rebate for security workers is £2,700. It's only possible to claim for the last 4 tax years.
RIFT’s average tax refund for security customers comes to around £3,000, but the amount you could get back depends on your own work pattern, expenses and tax history.
To claim a security tax refund, HMRC needs evidence of where you worked, what you spent and how much tax you paid.You don’t need to have everything perfect before you start, but the more information you can provide, the stronger your claim can be.
