Tax Refund...... Idiots question.
Discussion
I read today that if you have to wear a uniform for work and have to clean it yourself you can make a refund claim to HMRC.
I've had a quick look around their website and it does apear that you can indeed claim back set amounts for having to wash your own uniform.
This section seems to cover it
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/eimanual/EIM32485.h...
Now its only 50 / 60 quid a year but I belive that you can claim back for up to 6 years?
So how does one go about doing so?
Thanks in advance.

Who bought the uniform?
Is it a badged uniform?
Who cleans it?
Uniform provided FOC by the company. Is it a badged uniform?
Who cleans it?
Yes its badged
Its cleaned by ourselves with the household laundrey.
Are you a Higher Rate Taxpayer?
Its 5 shirts a week to be washed, ironed etc.
I suppose the actual cost isn't that great but if the rule exists to allow me to claim a set amount back as seems to be what the website I linked to is showing then surely I'd be foolish not to do so?
