I understand the lovely tax people let you claim for uniforms and dedicated workwear but not something that could arguably be used for general wear as well.

So if I go out and buy a quality waterproof coat that is not job specific (North Face/ Paramo etc) and get a company to stitch on a discreet company name or logo can I claim the whole item as a business expense?

Or would you claim it anyway?

Branded clothing has to be a business expense surely?

I claim it anyway. My boots don't have a logo. I have no company logo'd clothing at all.

Boots are safety gear.

I think they say you can claim it as marketing/advertising.

I think the whole process is nust to rob you and supposedly legal for them to do so 

So work uniforms they say, you need to clothes to wear regardless. So not sure if any work wear for cleaning windows is a green light, other than advertising costs if your company name is on them.

What i dont understand is how politicians can claim wallpapering their homes as an expense and we cant claim clothes 

Ild like to go through books of the taxman and/or politicians

There is a basic allowance for work clothes even if PAYE which will include the cost of cleaning, I remember a mate
getting a tax rebate because the company he worked for supplied his work clothes and claimed the allowance meaning he
didn't get it, but he was having to wash them.
