What you can claim
What are phone expenses?
If you’ve used your personal phone to make work-related calls and haven’t been fully reimbursed, you could be entitled to claim a telephone expenses tax rebate. Even small monthly costs can add up. You can backdate your rebate up to 4 years, with typical refunds ranging from £60 to £300.
Work calls from your personal mobile
If you regularly call clients, supervisors, or colleagues using your own phone, and your employer hasn’t covered the cost, those calls may qualify for tax relief.
Partially reimbursed usage
If you receive a work allowance or partial reimbursement that doesn’t fully cover your phone costs, you may be able to claim the difference as a tax rebate.
Field-based or remote jobs
Workers in construction, healthcare, delivery, education and other mobile roles often use personal phones on the job. If this applies to you, you may be owed money back.
