Wash your uniform at home ?

I’ve just done this online. Managed to claim for past 5 years uniform allowance and professional subscriptions. Received cheque for overpayment and this years tax code changed. Well worth the 20 mins it took

Hi - if you are self-employed and paying tax can you still do this? I have everything for the online claim except a PAYE reference as I am self-employed for the company I work for. Can I still do it?

Just received a cheque for £141. Applied about two weeks ago on GOV website, took about 10 mins. I claimed back 4 years plus 2018-19, but on the cheque it states Tax Calculation for 2017-18? Does this mean I have other cheques on the way for the other years I’ve applied for, or is this the whole rebate for the five years?

That is quite a decent amount for a uniform claim.

Does the final calculation (P800?) not include an amount owed from earlier years i.e. the £141 is the total for the four years to 05:04:2018?

It might be something like
2014:15 overpaid £35, total £35
2015:16 overpaid £35, total £70
2016:17 overpaid £35, total £105
2017:18 overpaid £35, total £140


With a bit more (for 2018:19) to come through your next wages (assuming you have also received a new tax code)

Thanks for the reply. It states on the letter attached to the cheque that a calculation of this amount has been sent separately. Was just confused as to why it only states 2017-18.

Probably just cause that is the final year they are paying you direct - all the 4 years being rolled together ending up with £141.

Should still have a little bonus to come in your March payslip (approx £35 based on £141 being for 4 years).

I have just tried this on-line and found that there is no way to avoid getting a phone call from HMRC - The first step after logging on is putting your address and phone number in to the system - the second step is "WHAT TIME DO YOU WANT US TO PHONE YOU TODAY ?"
Hardly "disabled friendly" is it ?
I, am unable to speak on the phone due to a disability - yet there appears to be no options !!

Is that not just if you want help from HMRC- a link at the bottom of the page?

I'm sure the original post said Volunteers were excluded but can't see this mentioned now or on the HMRC web site. Does anyone know if this still applies?
