Airline Uniform Tax Rebate Claim up to £2044.
Uniformed airline crew in the UK can claim a "flat rate expense allowance" (FREA) for the cost of maintaining and cleaning their uniforms.
The exact amount of the rebate varies by role and tax bracket. For example, pilots and uniformed flight deck crew have a higher FREA than cabin staff.
Claiming the rebate
What it covers: The rebate covers costs like cleaning and laundering, but not the initial cost of the uniform itself, which is typically provided by the airline.
How it works: Instead of a tax exemption, it's a tax rebate that can be claimed on expenses that an employee would have otherwise paid tax on.
Claim process
You can backdate your claim for the current tax year plus the four previous tax years. Start your claim online, and Tax Claimer will take care of all the paperwork to get your rebate sorted, typically within 30 days.
Rebate amount
The actual tax rebate depends on your tax bracket. For example, a basic-rate taxpayer (20%) can claim 20% of the flat rate, while a higher-rate taxpayer (40%) can claim 40%. For a pilot claiming the £1,022 allowance, a higher-rate taxpayer would get £408.80 back per year.
