Mechanics Tax Refund

YES! We can get you a tax refund on your tools

Auto technicians in the UK motor trade spend thousands of pounds building up and maintaining their tool box. These costs are incurred for work and typically not reimbursed by employers, so surely tax relief is available?

So you would think but surprise, surprise these types of tax refund claim have been notoriously difficult to get past the taxman and it is now generally accepted in the trade that you can’t get a tax refund on your tool expenses. It’s a pity but there you go…

We’ll we have some very welcome news. A year ago we decided to take on the taxman on behalf of a handful of auto technicians - from main dealers and independent garages - to see if we could get their claims agreed. The results are that after an almighty battle all of these individual have received their refund cheques

- Rover/MG mechanic, Surbiton, refund cheque £2,019.69
- Ford mechanic, Pontefract, refund cheque £1,103.97
- Vauxhall mechanic, Rugby, refund cheque £990.25
- Independent mechanic, Ipswich, refund cheque £748.66

Now that we have a proven method for convincing the taxman that our claims are legitimate, we can open the door to mechanics all over the country. We have developed a fantastic service to make it as easy as possible for you to get your money back:

- No Win No Fee. There are no upfront costs or bills to pay as we subtract our fees from the refund and send the balance on to you.

- Low Fees. We charge just 30%+vat of the refund. We are confident that you would not be able to get this money back yourself as it has taken our most senior tax expert a full year to know how to get these claims to work. This charge is therefore excellent value for the level of expertise on offer and it’s money you wouldn’t get otherwise!
