HMRC refunds due as millions missing out on cash rebates of up to £3000

HM Revenue & Customs urged UK workers earlier this month to check five commonly overlooked claims including mileage, subscriptions, tools, SSP, and holiday pay, warning missed allowances could total up to £3,000.
Awareness and payroll lapses have let small errors and unnoticed underpayments accumulate, while some claims like professional subscriptions can be backdated for up to four years.
For mileage claims, a shortfall across 500 miles can yield a £75 refund, while trade workers who buy essential tools and zero‑hours workers with five weeks of paid leave may also qualify for relief.
HMRC noted last year almost 1 million people did not claim refunds owed and urged taxpayers to download the HMRC app to check allowances and submit claims.
To recover missed pay, employees should check payslips and review their tax code at least once a year, or raise SSP errors with employers or HMRC's Statutory Payment Disputes Team.
