How much of a Construction rebate could I get?

The amount you could get back depends on where you worked, how far you travelled, what expenses you paid yourself and how many tax years you can claim for. It's only possible to claim for the last 4 tax years.

The average 4 year tax refund for our construction PAYE customers is £4,000. Use our calculator for an instant estimate of how much you might be able to get back from HMRC.

Refund due:

Things that can influence the value of your tax refund

The size of your refund can be affected by things like:

  • How many temporary sites you worked on
  • How far you travelled
  • Whether you used your own vehicle or public transport
  • Whether you paid for tools, PPE or work equipment
  • Food and accommodation costs
  • Laundry or upkeep of work-specific clothing
  • How much your employer already reimbursed you
  • How many tax years you can claim for

Why Construction refunds can add up

Construction workers often move between different sites and cover a lot of mileage. Even if you were paid some expenses by your employer, you may still be able to claim if you were not fully reimbursed in line with HMRC rules.
