Do you wear a uniform? Are you missing out on extra cash?
According to recently released statistics, 2 in 3 workers who wear a uniform are likely to be entitled to a tax refund. However, many seem to be unaware and miss the deadline every year. Refunds can reach in to hundreds of pounds so it’s definitely something you shouldn’t ignore.
The refund applies to you if you wear a uniform and have to wash, repair or replace it yourself….. and it doesn’t have to be a full uniform, it could just be a polo shirt with your company logo.
As long as you’re required to wear the uniform as part of your job and you’ve paid income tax, you are likely to be able to claim. You can also claim for previous years.
If you’re self employed, it’s slightly different but you can claim for uniform and laundry in your tax return.
So what are you waiting for – contact HM Revenue & Customs today and make your claim – perhaps that branded uniform isn’t looking as expensive after all
