How long does the claim take please folks?

My hubby put in a letter just over 4 weeks ago.

Cheers.

His uniform consists of shirt, trousers, overalls, work boots and wellies!

I doubt he'd been seen wearing these out and about besides work!

If push comes to shove, the case quoted is that of the lady lawyer - only the wig qualified.

Your man should be able to claim affiliation to some agreed trade allowance.

Not so John - the gown/robes also were deemed allowable.

Thanks for that, I was remembering the fuss at the time - something along the lines of "I would not be seen dead....."

Mind you she would have been self employed and so the general requirement that the employer should provide the specialist clothing required to do the job would not have applied.

Safety wellies, day glow vest, eye protection, hard hat ..... and now feed the cows ?

After reading about the uniform tax allowance on here, I told my daughter she should apply for it. So she was filling out "the form" (I know, I know!!) & I asked to see it. The paperwork looked very official and the pre-paid envelope was even addressed to HMRC...but the small print said she had to pay £10 fee & 20% of any tax reclaimed. When I explained they were charges for something she could do herself for the cost of a stamp, and that the people who had sent the form weren't HMRC, her response was, "But they're on Facebook." - !! Although a graduate, she's one of the many who could have done with financial education in school.

Don't think that she'll get anything anyway, because since applying, we've got her tax code changed (:T again, MSE :T) & it turns out she doesn't earn enough to pay tax. But if she were eligible, she'd have been entitled to just £12 because this is her first year of work, and she'd have had to pay the company £12.40.

The instructions on MSE are crystal clear & ultra-easy to follow - so for anyone who can claim - especially if it can be backdated - be warned not to Google uniform tax allowance, because you'll get an agent company. Just come straight on to MSE. That's the one thing my daughter now understands fully - for anything vaguely financial, always check it out on MSE first

As she wasn't entitled to anything she would have been at least 50p better off using the form than doing it herself.

I guess she isn't the only one who needs a financial education.

Spam?

Website woefully out of date - haven't been able to claim for 6 years for quite some time now i.e. several years since this stopped.

And why pay another company to do something you can easily do yourself for the cost of a stamp?

if i put in the claim and say pay me it by cheque will they always pay me by cheque or after the first payment will it start to be taken off the tax i pay each month?
