Do you wear a uniform? If so, did you know that you can claim your cash back? If your job requires you to wear a particular uniform or outfit and you have to wash and repair it yourself, then you could be benefitting from a small tax allowance.

To help you make the most of it, Workwear Express has created a Uniform Tax Calculator to reveal just how much you could be owed by the HMRC.

If you haven’t been claiming in the past, you could be due a rebate. For some industries, this could mean that you’re owed up to £100.

The standard rate is £60 for the current tax year, which means that basic rate taxpayers could claim back £12 a year (20% of £60), while higher rate taxpayers could claim as much as £24 (40% of the £60 allowance). Workers in the building industry could be owed up to £96.

You can claim for the last four years plus the current year, as long as you’ve met the criteria throughout that time, possibly resulting in a potential rebate of £60.

Andrew Ward, managing director at Workwear Express, said: “The uniform tax rebate has flown under the radars of a lot of employees in Britain. At Workwear Express, we’re determined to ensure that everybody who wears a uniform for work and has to wash it at home gets the refund that they deserve from the HMRC. We’ve created a Uniform Tax Calculator to help people do just that, so nobody has to be unnecessarily out of pocket because of work.”
