    Hi, Great post guys. Really please to see this is still going.

    Might be a silly question, my girlfriend works as a zoo keeper, what if any best describes her job role?

    I would guess Agriculture, but should she put this or play it safe and say its not on the list?

    Is the letter posted at the begining still current?

    Cheers
    Hope the letter is still current and would also say your nearest is Agriculture.

    OH works in medical production (printing & packing diabetic testing strips) so has a similar issue but part of his Job involves printing so this may be his best bet.

  • I work for a group of veterinary companies and all the staff in the practices have uniforms supplied by each practice but when looking at the HMRC list of jobs covered under this vets are not highlighted. The uniforms the Vets and Nurses are not for out of work use and get covered in as you would expect horriable stuff.

    Does anybody have any information if the HMRC allows veterinary staff to claim for this tax relief?

    thanks

    Anyone can claim, the list isn't exhaustive. As long as the clothing is dedicated for use at work (and not that you just choose to wear them at work).

    It'll be the standard amount (upto £60 allowance per year) if your profession isn't listed.

    Can the army claim this? Im in the TA and I have to launder my uniform and I have to wear it?
  • I have claimed before and I'm still in same job do I need to reclaim or do I automatically get the tax rebate
  • If you're a member of a trade union, contact them. When I worked for UNISON as an organiser, we had forms that we just handed out to members
  • Can anyone tell me if the military can claim this too? and how much the band would be thx
  • I sent my letter off a few months ago and it was all sorted in about 5 weeks.
    My tax code was adjusted so I pay about £350 less tax between now and next April to cover the last 6 years.
    Then it'll be the standard £60.

    The hwole process took about 5 minutes and cost the price of a stamp so well worth doing.
  • Can anyone help me my query on post 751?
  • excuse my ignorance but can you still claim if your self employed ? my husband is a one men band a self employed roofer, he has a uniform with his own logo in it thanks
