I have done it -got back £1800! you print off i think p87 or p82 form off customs and revenue, fill in 1 form per year you want to claim. You can claim up to 6 years back. It takes couple of months then they ring you up and ask you questions, then shortly after that you get a cheque

Dont forget you need all the receipts or you can't claim

hope this helps pal

Is there something similar for washing your work uniform at home?

I think it perfectly reasonable to claim a tax allowance for the cost of the tools of your trade. They are quick enough to take money off you after all.

is this just the £120 a year thing you can claim as i already claim that or is there something else i can claim for as well?
