Martin Lewis explains how to claim tax back on your work uniform

Martin Lewis has urged workers who wear a uniform to claim back on a tax rebate before the beginning of April.

The Money Saving Expert explained on Thursday (26 March) that UK employees can claim tax relief on the costs of cleaning, repairing, or replacing mandatory work uniforms via the P87 form.

“The minimum allowance is £60 a year, so it's only a £12 a year gain as a basic rate taxpayer, £24 higher tax, but in some professions, the allowance is much higher,” he said.

Mr Lewis explained that you can claim back as far as the 2021-2022 year, but you must complete the form before 1 April.
