In this video, Ndubuisi “Andy” Egwim warns doctors that many are forfeiting thousands of pounds each year by not claiming legitimate tax relief on professional expenses. He illustrates the issue with the story of Dr. Sarah, a 15‑year NHS doctor who never claimed any eligible expenses such as GMC indemnity, BMA mileage, or professional body fees, costing her roughly £37,500. Because she only discovered the mistake after attending Andy’s masterclass, HMRC allowed her to reclaim only the last five years, leaving ten years of lost relief. Andy explains that doctors can typically reclaim up to about £2,500 per tax year for necessary work‑related costs, and HMRC permits claims back up to four years from the current tax year, provided the taxpayer paid tax that year and can supply evidence. He lists eligible items (GMC fees, indemnity, insurance, professional body memberships, mileage, etc.), emphasizes the importance of early detection, and offers a free step‑by‑step guide to help doctors claim their relief, inviting viewers to comment “claim” to receive it.

Many doctors are leaving thousands of pounds on the table every single year because of this one tax mistake. They don't claim tax relief they are legitimately entitled to. In my book, I wrote about Dr. Sarah, 15 years as an NHS doctor. In that whole time, she never once claimed tax relief on her professional expenses. GMC indemnity, BMA mileage, none of it. And she didn't know. 15 years at roughly about £2,500 a year, that works out at about £37,500 that she could have claimed. And by the time she found out after attending my masterclass, HMRC only let her claim back 5 years, so she had to give up almost 10 years' claim. Now, that's a real lesson here. The earlier you catch these tax mistakes, the quicker you can fix them and you reduce the damage. Now, many doctors can reclaim up to £2,500 a tax year for legitimate work costs, and you can go back 4 years from the current tax year. GMC fees, indemnity, um, insurance, approved professional bodies like BMA, mileage, and more. Now, the key rule is that you must have paid tax that year, and that expense had to be necessary for your work. You might have to have some evidence as well. I've put together a free step-by-step guide that has already helped thousands of doctors claim thousands in taxes. You can see some of their testimonials on the screen. If you comment 'claim,' I'll send it over to you totally free. All right, enjoy.
