Rebate for Washing uniform

aqsteve

Recently discovered I might be able to get a tax rebate for washing my work uniform.

My work cloths all have a company logo on trousers, tshirt, sweatshirt, fleece. After reading the page on here about it is that all I have to do just write a simple letter asking for a rebate.

Should I include my national insurance number or anything else?:

Cheers

You can claim up to the last four years. Last years amount was the tax on £60 which amounts to around £12 a year.
Your tax code is then adjusted so that you pay £12 a year less than yu normally would.

Ring the HMRC, that's all you need to do. They will issue your employer with a new tax code.

the rate you can claim depends on what industry you work in .
IF you industry is listed hee then you get the tax back based on the applicable figure
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/eimanual/EIM32712.htm

If your industry is not listed there then you get the default rate which is £60 x your tax rate so as above 60 x 20% = £12 per year reduced tax provided your uniform ios as you describe so meets the conditions

Just to confirm, if you get the flat rate you wont be getting a refund cheque for the £12 per year for example?

Me and my partner are going through this claim process and hes only been refunded £12, despite 3 years of washing uniform, No cheque as requested, just some confusing tax calculation saying theyve changed our code ...waste of time...

glad you consider £12 a waste if time, I hope you will therefore donate it to charity?
post up the calculation and someone will explain it, it really cannot be that confusing - did it look like this one at post 1809 in the main thread on uniform washing, its all been explained before on there
