or do I physically have to tell them? Is it even worth telling them to take it off 2021/22? How do extra allowances work?
I currently have £312 added to my allowance for this (£6 times 52 weeks) plus a uniform allowance of £60 and union subscription allowance of £300

  • It will generally be included. If there is any change in your tax code, other than any arising from the chancellor’s budget, you will be notified, usually in January.

    it is legal to claim what you are entitled to claim, but it is your responsibility to inform HMRC when you are no longer eligible to do so - is that what you mean??????
