I looked into this a while back for my uniforms. It worked out as £1 a week but the forms were completely impenetrable ....and I gave up. :mad:

You dont need to complete any forms to claim a deduction for laundry of uniforms. You just write to your tax office and claim the allowance due.

Thanks Fengirl. Do you know how I can find out my tax office address?

You may find it has already been done via the employer check your tax code it may be slightly higher than normal to include the uniform laundry.

In my previous job we used to be supplied with a uniform (polo shirts & trousers etc)
someone informed us about a tax allowence towards the uniform

we had to fill in a form with the local tax office, resulted with us all in the dept getting about £45 per year, this was about 10 years ago

after filing the form in we got the allowance every year

better in your pocket than there's
