Did you miss the uniform tax rebate?
RefundSift checks your United Kingdom tax situation for the uniform and work clothing tax relief. Here is what it is, in plain language, with links to the official HMRC pages.
Who qualifies
- You are an employee who has to wear a uniform or protective clothing, or use tools, and you pay to clean, repair or replace them yourself.
- Your employer does not pay all of those costs.
How much
HMRC flat rate expenses depend on your job; if your job is not listed you can claim £60 a year. At 20% tax, £60 means £12 less tax.
How far back you can claim
GOV.UK says you can claim for the current tax year and the 4 previous tax years.
