Even if you think you’re not eligible, there are dozens of overlooked areas where overpayments happen. Some of the most common include:
Work uniforms, cleaning, tools
- Mileage, travel, or home office use
- Incorrect PAYE tax codes
- Pensions, benefits-in-kind, or emergency tax
- Professional subscriptions
- Side income that’s been over-taxed
If you’ve changed jobs, moved roles, or paid for anything out of pocket for work, you may qualify.
