What is a flat-rate expense allowance?
Flat-rate expenses are allowances that are provided to individuals in a selected range of occupations. Flat-rate expenses are for covering the cost of work-related equipment such as tools, uniforms, and stationery. Individuals must incur these costs for performing their job duties, and the costs must be directly related to the nature of their job.

How can I claim flat-rate expenses?
You can receive a flat-rate expense allowance only if you claim it. In some cases where your employer provides this information to the revenue, you will automatically receive this tax credit/relief every year. But, in most cases, you must claim them yourself by completing and submitting a Form 12 to the Revenue.
And, if you have not checked this yet, you might have missed out thousands of euros from the past years. So, we suggest you check this now.
