If you’re a care worker employed by a company, agency, or charity, there’s a good chance you might be missing out on a tax refund that’s rightfully yours. Every year, thousands of dedicated care professionals in the UK overpay their taxes without realizing it — and many are eligible to claim money back.
Why Care Workers Often Overpay Tax
Care workers play a vital role in supporting vulnerable people, often working long hours, multiple shifts, or even through different employers or agencies. Because of these complex working arrangements, tax codes can easily be miscalculated, leading to overpayment.
Common reasons include:
- Uniform and laundry costs not being claimed as tax-deductible expenses.
- Mileage or travel costs between clients not being reimbursed.
- Incorrect tax codes due to changing jobs, working multiple roles, or switching from agency to direct employment.
- Unclaimed professional fees or subscriptions (like NMC or union fees).
