Expenses if you're self-employed
Clothing expenses
If you’re self-employed - a sole trader or individual in a business partnership - 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’re not sure whether a business cost is an allowable expense contact HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
