Clothing expenses

If you鈥檙e self-employed - a sole trader or individual in a business partnership聽- you can claim allowable business expenses for costs such as:

  • uniforms
  • protective clothing needed for your work
  • costumes for actors or entertainers

You cannot claim for everyday clothing (even if you wear it for work).

If you鈥檙e not sure whether a business cost is an allowable expense contact HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
