You may be entitled to a reduction in the tax you have to pay
- To complete this claim you should fill out Form P87.
- Only fill in Form P87 if your allowable expenses are less than £2,500 for the year.
- If your claim is more than £2,500 you will need to fill in a Self Assessment tax return.
- Please contact the Self Assessment Helpline on 0300 200 3310 or register at www.gov.uk/log-in-register-hmrc-online-services
You must fill in a separate P87 for each employment for which you are claiming and for each tax year.
If you have not paid any tax during the year no refund will be due. Further guidance on completing this form can be found by clicking the ‘How to fill in this form’ button at the top of the page at Form P87.
