If you wear work uniform, whether a simple polo shirt with logo or full attire like nurses or police officers, and have to wash, repair or replace it yourself you may be able to reclaim overpaid tax from the past four years. Do it FREE, don’t pay a claims firm.
HOW DO I CLAIM THE TAX BACK?
Send a letter to the tax office on your payslip/P60, or to the generic address HM Revenue & Customs, Pay As You Earn, PO Box 1970, Liverpool, L75 1WX. Write ’Repayment Claim’ on the envelope to speed things up. The letter should include and mention the following (where applicable): Employer’s name and address and dates of employment for the past four years, your occupation, job title and industry sector, details of any laundry or cleaning services provided by your employer, if any, why your uniform can’t be worn outside work (eg, it includes the company logo), whether you want the rebate to be deducted from the current year’s tax or you would like a cheque. You will then be sent a letter telling you how much you’re entitled to. It could take about five weeks to process your claim.
