About our mechanics tax rebate services

We have  an average initial claim of over £950, a 97% success rate and a no rebate, no fee policy

Our team can secure a higher tax rebate than if you were to claim yourself meaning you get more money back in your pocket.

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

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 no 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 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.
