Dry Cleaning

[Crusoe101]

Hi,

As I work away through the week and have no access to a washing machine, can I claim my dry cleaning bills for shirts etc

If you wear a uniform as is required by your role..probably not if you wear normal clothes.

Your company or Ltd Co should be giving you and incidentals allowance of £5 per night (£10 for overseas) to cover personal incidental expenses such as dry cleaning. I don't think receipts are required for this one but I could be wrong.

You could buy more than one shirt?

I need a suit for interviews so put through all my dry cleaning bills. Never had a problem.

Never had a full investigation though by the sound of it

Some inspectors will allow it, some won't but they would be perfectly within their rights to refuse it.

Of course some employers will reimburse (especially HMG for MP's and the BBC for Alan Yentob) but that doesn't mean it is necessarily allowable.
