If you work as one of the following professions, you can breathe easy. Claiming your uniform rebate should be a breeze:
• Joiners or Carpenters
• Police Officers
• Firefighters
• Plumbers
• Nurses
• Mechanics
But it should be noted that HMRC does not view all of these professions equally. And they might offer a different flat rate expense allowance depending on what job it is that you have. (For example, HMRC will likely think that a nurse will spend more on laundry than a joiner).
