Whether it’s a plain white shirt or a high vis vest, not all clothes that you wear for work are tax deductible. You can’t claim the cost of your everyday clothes, even if you’re required to wear them to work. However, you may be able to claim a deduction for clothing if it’s either: a compulsory uniform protective clothing specific to your job.
