Outfitting your team with customised uniforms or workwear is more than just a branding decision—it’s a savvy financial choice for UK businesses. Here’s why:
1. Fully Tax-Deductible
- The cost of branded uniforms, workwear, and protective clothing (PPE) is classed as a legitimate business expense.
- You can deduct these costs from your business profits before calculating corporation tax, reducing your tax bill.
2. Reclaim VAT
- If your business is VAT-registered, you can reclaim VAT on workwear purchases, provided they’re for business use and display your company branding.
3. No Benefit-in-Kind Charges
- Providing uniforms or PPE to your staff is not treated as a taxable benefit, so there’s no extra National Insurance to pay.
4. Employee Tax Relief
- Employees required to wear a branded uniform may claim tax relief on the cost of cleaning, repairing, or replacing it—if these costs aren’t covered by the employer.
-
In summary:
Investing in branded workwear not only boosts your company’s image and team spirit—it’s also a tax-efficient decision that saves your business money.
