Tax Refund for laundering of protective clothing…
It is very common for people who have a work uniform with a company logo and are not provided laundering facilities by their employer to claim back a cleaning of uniform tax refund. If you do not have a uniform with a company logo on, but have to wear protective clothing for work purposes you can usually still claim the flat rate expense laundering allowance. Examples are a construction worker wearing a high visibility jacket or a food technology teacher wearing a protective coat.
If your employer provides you with laundering facilities or reimburses you the cost of washing you will not be able to claim the laundering allowance.
The allowance is worth £60 per tax year and a claim can be made for the last four tax years. You do not receive the full £60 as a total but tax relief on the £60, which is in the region of £12 per tax year if you pay tax in 20% bracket.
Other reasons for a tax refund…
In addition to a laundering of protective clothing allowance it is worth bearing in mind that their are other reasons why you could eligible to claim for a tax refund. Many people can claim a tax refund for buying tools for work use or using their own car, van or public transport when traveling to temporary workplaces. These types of tax refund claims can be made at the same time as a laundering of protective clothing claim and can also be backdated for the last four tax years.
