I think the allowance is about £80 a year, and mind that is the tax on it not the £80 itself so around about 16 per year. your tax code would be amended to take this into account for this year.

I believe you can claim back the last 3 tax years.

thanks - is that £80 the cost of purchasing uniform or cost of keeping it clean?

Its for the extra laundry costs.

Don't forget, you only get 20% of the £80, as above, its to do with the extra washing.....

It's usually £100 added to your tax code. That's what I got for an NHS job.

Which gives you an extra .38p per week in your pay packet.;)
