Capital expenses claim on a laptop

I am a PAYE employee, bought a laptop in March 2021 partly for work , is it still possible to put in a claim on my tax return ? Thanks

Hi josephmhlai,
You would only be able to claim the work related cost of the laptop, so you would need to work out the percentage of use that is private against business use. 
Thank you. 

Thank-you, Since it's 3years ago I bought it, is it still ok to enter on the tax return, if so, where do I enter the figure which is the work proportion on the tax return please?

Hi,

Your 20/21 return would need to be amended to process your claim, however we have passed the regular time limit for you to amend this return. To make the changes, you need to write to us,

stating that you are 'making a claim for overpayment relief'. State the year you wish to claim for, and give details of the claim you wish to make.

Please send your letter to Self Assessment, HM Revenue and Customs, BX9 1AS, United Kingdom.

Thank you.

Can I contact them by email can I write to them by email or other means rather than by post? Thanks

Hi josephmhlai, Unfortunately, claims for overpayment relief typically need to be submitted by post as outlined. HMRC usually does not accept these claims via email. Make sure to include all the necessary details in your letter to ensure your claim is processed smoothly. 

Hi,
No, the claim would need to be done in writing and state that you are looking to claim overpayment relief:

Thank you.
