If you are a teacher or education professional it is normal to have a CRB enhanced disclosure check as part of your duties of employment. The CRB check gives employers information which are held on police records.
The CRB check fee is payable by each individual and sometimes is refunded by your employer. If the fee is not refunded by your employer tax relief can often be claimed on the cost.
Claim a teacher tax rebate for CRB checks and other expenses
The independent safeguarding authority (ISA) fee under the vetting and barring scheme is normally only paid once during your career. The fee incurred for ISA registration is also eligible for tax relief in the same way as the cost of a CRB check.
A teacher tax rebate can be claimed for other reasons such as the cost into a professional body like the national union of teachers (NUT). In addition if you incur the cost of specialist clothing for example a P.E teacher buying trainers, you can usually claim tax relief on these purchases.
Similarly if you use your own car for work purposes traveling to varying locations a mileage allowance can be claimed for each business mile incurred.
