EIM32476 Tax Relief on Uniforms

What uniform expenses can I claim?

When talking about what uniform expenses you can claim you need to understand HMRC legislation and in particular EIM 32476.

EIM 32476 basically explains that anything bearing a company name or logo is considered a uniform. If an employee has to buy these items themselves, a deduction on the cost is permitted. Other required clothing without a company name is not considered in the same way and therefore these items are not deductible.

This is what a legitimate uniform tax rebate claim looks like:

cabin crew member who wears a uniform of blue jacket, skirt or trousers and a scarf all with the airline name sewn on them would be classed as uniform. The other uniform requirements to wear a generic white shirt or blouse, blue socks or dark tights and black shoes would not have an allowed uniform deductible amount.

Knowing what is and isn’t allowed before you make a claim can save you the time and effort. It’s also important to remember that your tax code may already include the uniform allowance without you actually knowing.
