    I expect the RCN are trying to be helpful, but all a nurse (or similar) needs to do is to write setting out the professinal subs paid and the amounts and also claiming the fixed rate expense allowance. Its striaghtforward.

  • Interesting. So - dont the employer include the standard allowance in their salary anyway?

    An employer may well put an allowance in someone's pay to cover the cost of laundry, special clothing, etc, but if it was included with salary, it would be taxed under the PAYE system, so the employee would still need to claim relief for these items under expenses.

  • Update

    Wife eventually got through to the helpline after days of trying.

    Apparently, they'd had the original letter back in August and had upped her tax code for a few months to take this into account

    Well, thanks for letting us know what you were doing HMRC !!! Bummer is looks like we;ve had the money so no cheque on its way.... :-(
