I would say, they cant charge you to wear there clothes unless you have signed a contract with them
Dont know how they can make you acountable for their shirts as all work clothing is tax deductable
I have a couple of shirts from Companys that i sub to and wear them when im working for them but as for being charged, NO fcuking way dude. If its free then fine
I will also wear a Company logo Magniboard on the van but i charge £15 a week because its free advertising

Why is it sad to claim for something you are entitled to?

And no you do not need reciepts, i just sent a letter explaining that i am issued with a work uniform that i have to wash and have been informed it is tax deductable (spelling?)

Your not claiming it from your boss, you get a new tax code.

im serious, he owns flats in spain and dubai, he travels between the lot of them managing them, bringing in fags backy etc also while hes traveling, he has maybe 100 people over here he does the books for, hes also a kinda supply teacher if thats a weird tax fiddle i dont know but ive never herd him say hes been to school . almost looks like a scruffy type older git nonce but hes straight and sound, there isnt a single part of our system / economy he doesnt know about, a very under estimated & clever bloke, i think thats how he gets away with it

Was the new tax code higher (ie you pay less tax) than your old code?

There's no way I'd wash my shitty* uniform with the rest of my clothes.


(litterally, it can have shit on it, bare minimum - caked in mud)
