A short explainer (YouTube) by Ndubuisi 'Andy' Egwim about tax-deductible work-related expenses for NHS staff. It introduces who can claim (NHS doctors, dentists, nurses, physiotherapists), focuses on income tax relief for unreimbursed professional membership fees and annual subscriptions to approved professional bodies when necessary or relevant for the job.
Basically tax deductible expenses are work related expenses you pay for for personally paying for stuff that you use for at work. So especially if you're not fully reimbursed, I'll give you examples to help you understand it better. This really is applied to your income tax to help to reduce your tax burden. Now if you're an NHS doctor, dentist, nurse or other NHS worker like a physiotherapist, you can claim tax relief for certain professional membership and subscriptions. Now before we get into it in details, let's look at what you can claim and what you cannot claim. I'll take my direction from HLC from their website and I'll say that you can claim tax relief from professional membership fees if you must pay the fees to be able to do your job. And you can also claim annual subscriptions you pay to approved professional bodies or learned societies if being a member of that body is relevant to your job.
