I've just read Pamela Swain's letter to the editor in the autumn issue of Vital (page 6), and came across a part that said a nurse can claim tax relief on the cost of washing their uniforms. Please can you advise me on how to do this? Thank you.

BADN Chief Executive Pamela Swain responds: Tax relief is available to dental nurses who launder their own uniforms - it is necessary to contact your tax office. Dental nurses who support their professional association - BADN - have full details on their member's CD-Rom or on the members' only area of the website. badn.org.uk.
