Dear Inland Revenue

RE: Expenses Allowance

I have been employed at Company Name, Location since (Date of Starting at Employment). I am obliged to launder the uniform, which is supplied to me by the company. I therefore wish to claim an expenses allowance of £xx for each year since the above date (if unsure just dont mention an amount they will work it out for you).


Yours Faithfully

More info on MSE> http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...d.html?t=27967

is this for employees only? or can self employed do this too?

Im not sure, read the post on MSE the info may be in there.

Thank you very much. Expect the expected, people will start saying it is not a deal. I think it is well worth to be on this section.

£140 for police

Just wondering, I have to wear suits every day for work, obviously financed by myself, is there any way I can claim for this back.

Also, these suits require dry cleaning, again at my expense, is this something that I could reclaim ???

Dry cleaning is a lot more expensive than cleaning at home so I thought I'd ask, someone on here is bound to know.

I just figured if you can claim back for washing at home there must be some way of claiming for dry cleaning.

I agree, well worth a mention

Same here. I'd really like to know

My GF works for a distribution company, she works in the finance office and the top she wears has the company logo...DHL...can she claim? I can't see a relevant category on the hmrc site,

As far as im aware it only applies to clothes provided by your firm, suits etc can be used for any purpose so are not eligible

If it has a logo then yes she can claim

I work in a shop...this doesnt count though does it?
