    Try a search this has been covered several times.

    If your a member of a union you may find an existing agreement betweeen the union and hmrc for members to claim fixed allowances.

    Workwear must be logo'ed and the employer must not have or provied laundering facilities.

    Go to www.hmrc.gov.uk and search for fixed rate deductions. If your job is there, you can contact your tax office and ask to be given the expense deduction relative to your job. If your job is not there, you need to make a claim to HMRC for the cleaning of the uniform - make your claim reasonable and it will be accepted. You can claim back up to 6 yrs and you need to ask for a payable order (cheque), NOT a code change.
    Any more questions on this, there have been long long threads on the cutting tax forum, ad nauseum.
