You can claim expenses if it a logo'd uniform (or specialist protective clothing).

This will typically be £60/year.

The tax savings from expenses of £60 will vary depending on your taxable income (and types of income) but it will often be either £12 (£60 x 20%) or £24 (£60 x 40%).

For some people though it will be £0.  And in a very niche scenario it could be worth £264 😳.

£12 is hardly worth the bother
