How much of a security tax refund can I get?

RIFT’s average tax refund for security customers comes to around £3,000, but the amount you could get back depends on your own work pattern, expenses and tax history.

The more eligible costs you’ve paid yourself, the more your claim could be worth.

Things that can impact your security tax refund

Your security tax refund could depend on:

How many temporary workplaces you travelled to
Your mileage or public transport costs
Whether you paid for your own SIA licence
Whether you renewed your SIA licence during the claim period
Uniform laundry and maintenance costs
Essential safety gear or equipment
How many tax years you can claim for
Whether your employer reimbursed any costs
