Are you entitled to a Teacher tax refund?
Teachers and other education professionals can claim tax relief on costs such as professional subscriptions and other work-related expenses. These claims can be backdated to cover the last 4 tax years.
Professional fees and subscriptions
You can claim tax refund on fees and subscription costs to many unions and professional bodies including NUT and NASUWT. HMRC maintains an approved list of professional organisations that are eligible for relief. The amount available to claim back will vary depending on the agreement that is in place, your particular organisation should be able to inform you of how much tax you can claim back.
If you have previously paid fees to a General Teaching Council, you can also claim tax back on this cost. Tax can be claimed back on all UK General Teaching Council fees, including those that are now obsolete.
