There is an estimated £180 million in unclaimed tax refunds.
If you are the holder of an ECS card and work for a firm, you might not realise that you can claim tax relief from using your own vehicle to get to temporary work sites. If you use public transport you may still be able to claim.
What is an ECS card?
This is a card used throughout the electrical industry whereby your competence is proven through the Electrotechnical Certification Scheme. The card enables the holder to be able to gain work legally on sites.
Whether you are self employed or work for the electrical contracting sector, it makes sense to be a card holder as this proves your level of competence, qualifications and health and safety awareness.
From a trainee to a professional, whichever role you perform in the electrical contracting sector you will require an ECS card as it is now becoming increasingly difficult to find work on a site without one.
To find out if you are entitled to a tax refund, consult your local tax specialist or accountant.
