The last step before your claim goes to our tax team.
Where to find it
Sign in at app.taxpro.co.uk, open your claim, then open the Documents step.
The web address looks like app.taxpro.co.uk/claims/<your claim>/documents.
What we always need
Your work contract. It shows your role and, importantly, whether you're required to travel to different sites. That is what supports a travel claim, so we can't submit without it.
If you don't have the contract, a written statement of employment particulars, an offer letter setting out your duties, or a letter from your employer confirming your role and sites will usually do. Ask us if you're unsure whether what you have is enough.
What else helps
Receipts for tools, uniform, training or professional fees
Parking, toll or hotel receipts for your travel claim
A P60 or P45 if you have one to hand, though we can usually get this from HMRC
Since 2024 HMRC ask for evidence up front on employment expense claims. A claim with clear evidence goes through noticeably faster than one where HMRC has to write and ask.
How to upload
A clear photo taken on your phone is fine. You don't need a scanner. Make sure the whole page is in the frame and the text is readable.
PDF, JPG and PNG all work. If a file won't upload, it's usually because it's very large, so try a photo rather than a scan.
What happens next
Once this step is complete your claim goes to our tax team for review. They check it, then send you an estimate to approve before anything is submitted to HMRC.
