Tax Relief for Personal Equipment used for Work

As a director or an employee, you can claim tax relief for personal equipment used for work. So effectively you could claim up to 100% of the cost of the asset for tax relief, as a capital allowance

There are a few things to consider though:

- The claim must be restricted to private use.

- The asset must be required for you to do your work.

- It cannot be a gift, so you must have paid for it.

- The claim must be time apportioned in the year you start the employment.
