Unreimbursed Employment Expenses list
Have you incurred any expenditure related to your Employment that has not been reimbursed by your Employer. Have you travelled to a temporary workplace (spent less than 24 months or, if working somewhere permanently you spend less than 40% of your time there)? This could be travelling to a meeting, an alternative office or training etc. All Travel and Subsistence costs associated with this are generally deductible. You would be able to include a mileage claim/actual travel expenses incurred on your Tax Return. In addition to this, HMRC will allow you to deduct subsistence/food purchased whilst working at a temporary work location. Please note, you cannot deduct the costs of your ordinary commute to your base office. Please find a list of typical examples below of unreimbursed Employment Expenses that are likely deductible.

Use of Home as Office
