Do you claim back tax relief on your Education and Training Foundation (previously Institute for Learning) subscription fee?
Did you know that you could?
ETF tax rebates
As members of The Education and Training Foundation you could be entitled to a number of teacher tax reliefs on workplace expenses.
Whether you are a fellow, full, associate, affiliate or companion member you can claim back the tax on the cost of your membership.
Here are some other common expenses successfully claimed by members of the Institute for Learning and The Education and Training Foundation:
- Working from home.
- Buying and laundering work uniform or specialist clothing.
- Membership fees for professional bodies and unions ( like the NUT ) and the subscription cost of some professional journals.
- Using your own vehicle to get between different work locations.
- Purchasing equipment or tools that are necessary for your work.
And with an initial claim you can go back up to 4 taxpaying years.
How do I claim my ETF tax rebate?
To claim tax relief on your ETF membership fee and any other work expenses you should complete a form P87 and submit it to HMRC.
So, whether you are a tutor, trainer or support worker in a workshop, prison or college don’t let HMRC keep any more of your hard-earned money than they should!
