Claim tax back on travel, SIA licenses, and uniform expenses
When you travel to temporary workplaces for security work, you're stacking up out-of-pocket expenses. If you're not getting full allowances from your employer, you could claim tax back from HMRC on work mileage, SIA license fees, and the upkeep of your essential gear and uniform.
