Healthcare Workers Tax Rebate FAQs

Healthcare professionals can claim tax relief on various work-related expenses, including:
  • Uniform and Laundry Costs – Expenses for purchasing, repairing, or cleaning uniforms required for your role.
  • Professional Fees and Subscriptions – Membership fees for professional bodies, such as the Royal College of Nursing.
  • Mileage and Travel Expenses – Costs incurred when traveling between different work sites or to temporary workplaces.
  • Equipment and Tools – Expenses for essential equipment or tools you purchase for your job.
Healthcare workers often overpay tax due to unclaimed travel and uniform expenses, a lack of awareness about allowable professional fees and training costs, and incorrect tax codes or assumptions about automatic claims. With Swift Refunds, we help you identify these issues and reclaim the money you’re owed.

While it’s advisable to keep receipts for all work-related expenses, HMRC allows flat-rate deductions for certain professions, including healthcare workers, which means you might not need to provide detailed records for specific standard expenses like uniform maintenance. However, for larger or less common expenses, retaining receipts is recommended to substantiate your claims.

No, you can only claim tax relief on expenses that you have personally incurred and that have not been reimbursed by your employer. If your employer has covered certain costs, those expenses are not eligible for a tax rebate.
