Questions

Answer

Will my trust accept the claim?

Your trust decides. You give whoever approves your expenses one PDF they can check line by line: every receipt attached, every amount trimmed to what England’s national rules allow, and the rule shown. If a line depends on your trust’s own policy, the app tells you to check with them first.

Does Reimbsr send claims for me?

No. It builds your claim PDF with every receipt attached and drafts the email to whoever approves your expenses. You check it and send it from your own email, so nothing is sent without you. Then mark it as sent and track it until it’s paid. Still unpaid after 6 weeks? It reminds you to chase it.

How does it know what’s claimable?

It checks each item against England’s national NHS rules (the HEE relocation and travel framework, NHS Terms and Conditions Section 17 and the 2016 terms for doctors in training) and HMRC guidance. Each item goes to your trust, to HMRC, or is marked not claimable, and is trimmed to the amount you can claim. For extra miles, only the miles beyond the first 17 each way count. Every line shows the rule it’s claimed under.

What is the P87, and how does tax back work?

The P87 is HMRC’s form for claiming tax back on work costs you pay yourself, like GMC, BMA, medical indemnity and royal college fees. HMRC gives back the tax on them at the rate you pay (on 85% of the BMA fee). Reimbsr sorts each fee: to your trust if it pays it back (in England, your first two attempts at each royal college exam, and from April 2027 college membership too), to HMRC if not, so nothing is claimed twice. Your P87 comes filled in on Free and Pro, ready to send online or by post.

I’ve never claimed. Is it too late?

Not for tax back. One P87 covers this tax year and up to four years before it. More than £2,500 of costs in a year goes through Self Assessment instead. Trust claims have shorter windows (relocation is commonly claimed within 3 months, mileage monthly), so start with what’s still in time.

What if it gets something wrong?

You can check everything before you send. Every line shows the rule it’s claimed under, and Ask Reimbsr shows its sources. In a grey area, it writes the question for you to send to medical staffing. Your employer makes the final call.

Which trusts does it work with?

All 233 NHS employers across the UK: 202 in England, 10 in Wales, 15 in Scotland and 6 in Northern Ireland. 232 come from the NHS’s own register; NHS Golden Jubilee isn’t on it, so it was added by hand. Pick yours and its name, address and postcode fill your P87; at a GP practice, type it in. The trust rules Reimbsr checks are England’s, so in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland check trust claims with your employer. The P87 works the same across the UK.

Is my data safe?

Your National Insurance number and date of birth are kept in your phone’s secure storage. They are printed on the P87 forms you make, and a copy of each form is saved in your account. Your receipts, claims and profile are protected so that no other account can read them. Receipts are read by AI on servers in London, and you can delete your account from Settings at any time.
