Healthcare worker tax rebate

minnie659

Hi,

I apologise if this has been asked several times, but I have seen so many sites with information but no forms from the tax office to claim uniform, shoes, tights, fees etc.

I have seen sites that charge, but I would rather do this myself.

Where do I start? What info do I need provide. Thanks everyone

Ive heard about tax allowance for the washing of uniforms, which have company logos on, which only amounts to about 12 pounds a year, which they change your tax code for. But nothing about the others you mention.

Where did you get your information from. I think you've probably been misinformed.

For shoes/tights again mention it to HMRC. This guide will help too.

Jem as already listed the shoes and tights page
here is the uniform page http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/eimanual/eim67210.htm
here is the rate (it is not £60!) http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/eimanual/EIM67240.htm

In case our assumption that healthcare worker means you are a nurse is wrong, other types of healthcare workers get other rates - see list here
