Employees who need to buy substantial equipment to use as part of their employment may be able to claim tax relief. In most cases they can claim relief based on the full cost as it usually qualifies for a type of capital allowance called the Annual Investment Allowance. Any tax relief would be reduced if the employer provides a contribution towards buying the item.
The way to claim tax relief depends on the amount you are claiming for. HMRC provides the following information on making a claim:
Claims up to £2,500
