Uniformed Police Officers

Flat Rate Expense Allowance

Uniformed Police Officers are entitled to claim an allowance of £140 (from 06.04.08). Generally, this should be shown in the PAYE notice of coding (form P2) issued by the Inland revenue each year. This allowance is meant to cover the costs of renewals and repairs of footwear conforming to Police regulations and also the cost of dry cleaning and laundry of uniforms. In theory, should the actual costs exceed £140 in a tax year, then a Police officer can write to the Inland Revenue to claim a further allowance. However, in such circumstances, the Inland Revenue does inevitably require receipts so as to fully support the expenditure claimed.
