Uniform or not ?

Does anyone wear a uniform/work wear ?

I have polo shirts and t shirts which I wear depending on the weather. I also have a fleece and a waterproof coat all labelled with my business name. At least this way I can put them through my books.

According to the Tax Advise Expenses free-downloads from this site (see free resources above), you can NOT put any clothing- even with logos- through the books as a childminder.

I don't have a specific uniform but i do wear certain clothes that I keep just for work,

[Smiley]

No, never had a uniform, don't really want to draw attention to myself. I personally would feel as if I was similar to staff from other provisions

Yes you can put through clothing on condition it is a logo with a business name. I have always been told you can and when I did hmrc on line course last year this was confirmed as only worn inside business hours.

I put all clothing through that I wear/ buy for work only, I also claim for the cost to wash the items, people who r not self employed are now able to claim money back off tax they have paid for work uniforms they have to buy so why can't we

Mmm, looks like an are of uncertainty if some have been told they can put clothing (with/without logo?) through as expenses, maybe Sarah707 can give the source of her information? Thanks. Here is the document:
