Uniform Allowance Claim

Check if you can reclaim tax relief for work uniform costs you are legally entitled to.

What Is a Uniform Allowance Claim?

If you are required to wear a uniform for work and you are responsible for cleaning, repairing, or replacing it yourself, you may be entitled to claim tax relief.

Many employees do not realise that maintaining a required uniform qualifies for tax relief.

You may be able to backdate your claim for the last 4 tax years and recover the relief you are owed.

You May Be Eligible If

You may qualify if:

  • You are required to wear a branded or specialist uniform.
  • You wash, repair, or replace your uniform yourself.
  • Your employer does not reimburse you.
  • You pay income tax.

This claim allows you to recover tax relief on uniform maintenance costs.
