Tax relief made clearer: a new course for care workers

Many care workers are unsure where to start with tax relief on work expenses. Our latest course makes the process easier to understand, with practical examples rather than tax jargon.

Tax Relief for Care Workers: Claim What You're Entitled To is now available in Core Training. This 30-minute course includes three narrated lessons, a worked homecare example and a final assessment.

Learners explore qualifying work mileage, uniform expenses, employer reimbursements and the difference between an expense claim and the tax saving it may produce. They are guided through preparing for HMRC's online route or the official P87 form, with clear signposting when Self Assessment is the appropriate route.

Two Academy-branded downloads provide a mileage log with a worked example, and a claim-preparation checklist with a practical P87 guide. Learners keep their own records privately; there is no requirement to submit a tax claim or share personal tax information with Academy.

The course is approved by Professional CPD Standards as a Level 2 Certificate. Successful learners receive a free digital completion certificate and transcript.

Included in existing provider subscriptions and Lifetime Individual Membership, it gives managers another practical way to support their staff. Managers can assign it to selected learners or their whole team in Runway.

Eligibility depends on individual circumstances. The course does not promise a refund and is not an HMRC-endorsed service. It helps learners use official guidance and make informed decisions without needing a paid claims company.
