hi i heard that you can claim a uniform allowance through the inland revenue if you work somewhere that does not have an available washing machine yet you have to wear a uniform (a supermarket for example).
has any one does this or know what forms / requirements there are?
thanks

do you know if there are any restrictions to who can apply? like hours or something? im still at uni so not on a full tax code and only do 10 - 20 hours a week.
i didnt even know there was such a thing until a lady told me when i was at work the other day!0 -

It must be logo-ed workwear and there should be no laundry available from your employer.If the employer states they have a staff washing machine, the allowance falls.iirc, i get £90 a year on my allowance.Don’t be a can’t, be a can.0

Dear Inland Revenue
RE: Expenses Allowance
I have been employed at Company Name, Location since (Date of Starting at Employment). I am obliged to launder the uniform, which is supplied to me by the company. I therefore wish to claim an expenses allowance of £45 for each year since the above date.
Yours Faithfully
Your Name
Your Tax code0 -
