First it was people offering 'help' with PPI claims, for a small fee. Now it is help with claiming a uniform tax rebate! This is usually a relatively small amount of money - maybe £100 a year, and a few companies are already trying to take some of that money away for the average worker.
What is uniform tax rebate? Very simply, its a tax rebate for anyone who has a uniform and has to get this uniform cleaned/mended themselves. Some employers offer laundry services, and in this instance a person would not be eligible for such a rebate. however, if you wear a uniform that is not for use out of work and you are responsible for its care, you are likely to be eligible for this rebate.
All you have to do is send a letter to the tax office, stating where you work, that your uniform is not for use out of work and that your employer does not provide laundry services. They will want to know where you work and how long you have worked there and why you cannot wear your uniform outside of work (usually because of a work logo, or if you work in health or food industries, for hygiene reasosn).
Please note that negotiations are currently underway between MOD and tax office re uniforms for army/navy etc personnel. Please contact your own personnel to see whether you are yet eligible.
Moneysavingexpert.com have all the details and also a default address if you do not have the address of your own local office.
Do not let some financier take any of the money you are entitled to. Write it yourself or get a friend to do it.
On another note, I have written 3 books. 2 are part of a series set in Scoltand about the Sidhe, fairy folk. Available on kindle and in paperback:
