Hello
Recently my wife has another course to attend, asked to do this from work (she's a doctor). Now the course fee we 'should' apparently get back most of the (£690) but the exam, overnight accomodation in London and travel down we will not (around £700). We also have to pay out for a trip to London once a week for 2 months £75 each time but again should get this back at the end??
Then it got be thinking, the amount we spend on books for these courses / exams / her medical equipment she has bought.
Also her membership to the Medial councils for insurance every year.
It all adds up to quite a large amount of money...
Now when she was working full time, all hrs god sends with nights / on calls etc her overall salary you would not mind as much. For the has 2.5yrs however since our little one arrive she has moved to a desk based job part time and nothing like the salary.
So my question, can I claim tax back on the above? can it be back dated? would we have to prove fees / equipment with recipts?
I've only dealt with a self assesment form once and it was a nightmare so any help appreciated..
OOH and is at the end of this is it worth the trouble? Tell you what the more I have heared about the NHS I just shake my head.
Thanks in advance
