he has laundry sacrifice, each month they take an amount off of him (the amount varies monthy), they then give him the same amount back (under the heading laundry pay non-tax).

Is he already in receipt?

I can't work that one out. Why would there be a laundry sacrifice which is simply handed back?

Either ask his employer - or check his Code number which should (year 11/12) be 747L. If more than that there's an allowance likely included. But if nothing included - you still need to check out the 'laundry allowance' via pay. As HMRC won't allow anything - if the employer already provides facilities / allowance.

my eligible colleagues have had theirs by cheque.

So - HMRC have added in the £45 allowance (to 08-09) and the £60 from that point - and done a total recalculation on each year. Which will account for the varied amounts .... as some will have small PAYE overpayments which that has thrown up.

Ask a couple of them to check the P800s they will have?

Can't explain why they have treated yours as a consolidated allowance increase I'm afraid

Thank you!

My husband said he doesnt pay tax on it (last month it was £10.60), so he doesn't get the £10.60 in his pocket, just the benefit of not paying the tax on that sum if that makes sense

I have tried to claim this twice, each time I have been told my employer doesn't have a agreement with the tax office

Sadly I was not successful, my letter claimed I had a flat rate expense for laundering my uniform in my tax code each year from 2006-2007 and that no further relief was due to me - i'm confused!!

I applied for 6 years worth of rebate, I work at a famous high street chemist, have been there for 11 years was part time until Nov 2007 then full time ever since.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Also believe you can claim for union fee's and registration fee's , does anyone know if this is correct

You can. Have a look at your Code number. If it's above 747 for last year .... that's likely the result of an extra allowance. You will also have had a P2 (Coding Notice) which set it out in more detail?

Only if it's on the HMRC list. Covered several times over the last few pages of this thread - have a look back?

Just give your employer details and your duties in the letter and let HMRC worry about the specific value? Not sure if you'll be £60 or £100. Pull the Employer Reference off your last P60 and include that with your NI number.
