We can also claim tax relief on the interest part of any finance agreements you have with the likes of MAC and Snap On, tax back for washing your own protective clothing and fees into the Institute of Motoring Industry.

About our mechanics tax rebate services

With an average initial claim of £900, a 98% success rate and ‘no rebate, no fee’ policy – why wouldn’t you use our service?

We make sure you get back everything you are entitled to and include all of your work related expenses in one bespoke claim.

We make it hassle free and simple:

• Our professional, qualified accountants maximise your tax rebate claim.

We will claim for your Tools, Uniform, tax relief on the interest part of your finance payments and membership into the IMI.

What kind of claim should I make?

These are the two different types of Mechanics Tax Rebate claims you can make – we can help you decide which one to make, so you get everything back you are owed.

Capital Allowances

If you have spent more than the tool allowance (£120) during the tax year and have receipts or activity reports to support your claim, then you can submit a capital allowances claim. The amount of tax relief available works out at about 18% of the actual cost of the tools and equipment you purchased. There is not time limit to claim capital allowances as long as the tool is still in use and you can provide proof of purchase.

Tool Allowance

If you spent up to £120 on tools during a tax year and you haven’t got any receipts, this is the correct claim for you. Otherwise known as a ‘flat rate expense’, HMRC has agreed a figure of £120 per tax year for mechanics. This means you can claim back 20% of this amount, about £24. We can backdate your claim for 4 years.

Even if your tool allowance is taken into account in your tax code, you can still make a claim for the actual cost as long as you have receipts.

What else we can claim for you

It’s not just about getting a tax rebate for tools. As part of our service we ensure you get back everything you are entitled to including:

• Uniform allowance if you wash your own protective clothing. It’s worth £60 per tax year.
• Finance payment tax relief if you make interest payments as part of a finance agreement. With the cost of a tool box being pretty hefty the interest you pay can really rack up so keep any finance agreements from your MAC or Snap on tool provider.
• IMI tax rebate if you pay for your own membership into the Institute of the Motor industry.

Don’t miss out!

The process does appear daunting, but don’t let that be the reason you miss out on getting your money back. Let our team of experienced professionals take the stress factor away – all you have to do is think about how you’ll spend your rebate.
