Did you know that your membership fee into the National Association of Primary Care can be included as part of your tax rebate claim?
There is an impressively broad list of ways in which the NAPC supports its members in reaching these goals including business support services, online translation services and discounted professional training.
Of course, there is a membership fee to be paid in order to access these benefits and maintain the organisation.
Hundreds of NAPC’s members are unaware that they are entitled to reclaim a tax rebate for the cost of their membership fee and other work related expenses.
NAPC members tax rebates
There are many other work expenses tax reliefs that apply to taxpayers in all of the professions supported by NAPC.
- Trade Union fees and subscriptions to professional bodies and/or journals
Many Unions and bodies like NAPC have an agreement with HMRC that allows their members to reclaim tax relief paid on their fee. Check if any other organisations you belong to also have this arrangement.
- Buying and washing work uniform or protective clothing
If you are required to buy protective clothing or uniform for work then you are entitled to reclaim the tax you have paid. Also, if no laundry facilities are provided by your employer, you can claim for the cost of washing and drying your work clothes at home.
- Using your own vehicle for work journeys
This applies to journeys between different work locations in your own car. For example, going to a community centre to deliver a clinic, or home visits to patients’ houses. It does not include the daily commute to a permanent workplace.
- Buying equipment for work purposes
From nurses’ tights and/or socks, to office supplies – if it’s not reimbursed by your employer then you can make a claim.
- Working from home
If it is determined by your terms of employment that you need to work from home, then there are tax allowances available. It does not apply if it is merely your choice to take your paperwork home, rather than do it in your office.
How do I make an NAPC tax rebate claim?
To claim back tax relief on your NAPC membership fee and other employment expenses you will generally need to complete a P87 form or include your expenses on your self assessment tax return.
