Last year’s tax return It may sound odd, but you can actually add the cost of last year’s tax return to your expenses claim. And we promise not to get mad if it wasn’t with Pinkcow! Work related travel While you can't claim back for travel to and from work, any trips you had to make for work (even if you just went down the road) can be claimed back. For public transport expenses you don't need to show any receipts, but if you drove you will need to provide them plus a logbook of your trips.

2. Courses If you had to take a course for your job, such as Barista, then let us know. We’ll add it to you claim with just the name and cost of it. Uniform and equipment Anything work-specific can be claimed back. Regulation clothing and tools like paintbrushes can all be claimed back if you had to buy them for your job. You can even claim back the cost of washing your uniform all year. Phone & internet Okay, we can’t claim back the cost of the fancy iPhone you bought, but if you had to make any work calls or send any emails from your phone or laptop, you can claim some of the costs as expenses.
