I`ve already had it according to HMRC but apparently theres another not often claimed for allowance, if you wear a uniform as part of your job and you have to wash it yourself you can claim the costs back up to 6 yrs.I can't imagine it will be much even for my 5 yrs with this company but it will do more good in my pocket than Gordon Browns

I asked the question as well, they said they would look into it, but did say that if on PAYE for 2000 -2001 it should have been included in the tax code,
Did you get an answer straight away then ?.

Is that just tax relief on the costs though?

Yep,the woman who I spoke to checked and the computer said no
apparently she said she could tell by looking up my tax code for that period.

Not sure to be honest she told me to send a letter to the tax office that deals with our company,explaining that I want to claim for cleaning costs for x amount of time,what clothing the company provides blah blah blah.She didnt know how much you are allowed etc.But like I said even if its only 10p I'll have the satisfaction of taking it from Gordon

AND, if you're self employed and earn under something or other (maybe 11 grand?) you may be eligible for tax credit. If you're one of those sensible self employed types who pays bugger all tax, then tax credit could be a couple of ton a month!

That's right £11,000 pa for a 40 hour week, over 50 years old. It counts towards taxable income.

On the forms they ask you to confirm that you're still eligible for the over 50 allowance, like you're getting younger each year!

I'm not over 50, but they give me money. Just the self-employed bit is enough.

There are all sorts of things they'll give you money for. They don't like to tell you what though That's up to you to find out.
