I've just read on the MoneySavingExpert website that if you are required to wear a uniform (even just a t-shirt) for work and you wash, repair or replace it yourself, then you could be eligible to reclaim tax you have paid and although it doesn't add up to too much per year, I believe that you can apply for repayment for the past four years which will get you a nice little repayment that could come in handy.
