Can I claim tax relief?

Post by neohk » Wed Apr 06, 2016 9:10 pm

Being on tier 2 I can't have public fund.

It says tax credits are part of that fund. Can I claim tax relief though? It would be the my job's license VAT and the cost of joining an union. Does that count as using public fund or the HMRC would look and reject if they don't like it?

It is not a benefit.

So I suppose I'm equally eligible for the help-to-buy-isa then?

This is also not public funds.

See the link below for what is classed as 'public funds'.
