actually technically it is per employment so as he had 2 employments, and I assume 2 different uniforms, he could legitimately claim 120

Even though he was never employed at both at the same time?

Also, as each one is only 6 months of the tax year does that mean half would be claimed, or is the full allowance still allowed ?

Success
After filling out the online forms going back 4-5 tax years ( I think ) I got a cheque for £40.56p
I was expecting a lot more with it being a allowance of £60 per year, they sent me a working out for each tax year. but I can't understand it.
hey £40 better in my pocket. + £60 less tax to pay every year.

+ £60 less tax to pay every year.

You have misunderstood how this works.

It is £12 less tax to pay every year. The £60 allowance reduces the amount of income you have to pay tax on so £60 less income is, for most £12 less tax (£60 x 20%).

It could be as much as £27 less tax but only for very high earners.

Ah Well, I'm not that bright when it comes to tax stuff, anyway its better in my pocket.

True, and you were clever enough to do it yourself and not use a tax refund company who could easily have taken a hefty cut of the refund

I wear a uniform and boots for deliveries. I claimed for as for back as I could via hmrc website. Followed it and now have a cheque for £41. Happy with that. Tax code also updated for rest of years onwards

I can't remember how much I get; I think it's either £120 or £160 a year but my allowance is added onto my tax allowance. I work for more than one company in an industry where we have specific uniforms and PPE.
