Claim Relocation Costs to the UK

Claim back up to 40% of your UK flight

How does it work?

If you do freelance/contract work in the UK, you can claim work related expenses against your tax through 1st Contact's Umbrella Company service. These can include the cost of your flight to the UK plus any shipping costs. You can also fast track your National Insurance Number.

How do I qualify?

If you register with 1st Contact Umbrella with the Kickstart pack before you leave your home country and we are your first employer in the UK, you can claim your relocation costs as part of your expenses. This includes flights, six weeks temporary accommodation and any moving/shipping costs, you can claim up to the amount of £ 8000 in relocation costs.

What is the benefit for me?

Any expense that you claim reduces the amount of income that you have to pay tax on. For example if you earn £1000 and have expenses of £200, you will only pay tax on the balance of £800. In real terms you can claim back up to 40% of the cost of your flight once you start working in the UK . See below for example of various flight expense claims.
