				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  ::)roll
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.
