It has come to the notice of the Staffordshire Police Federation that not all Staffordshire Police Officers will be on the correct tax code, particularly concerning the ability to claim for professional subscriptions, (Federation) and a flat rate expense, (laundry). It is not possible to give examples as an Officer’s tax code will be personal according to individual circumstances, however it is recommended that you make contact with the HM Revenue on the below telephone numbers to ensure you are on the correct tax code.
HM Revenue and Customs: 01355 359022 or 08453000627.
You will need your National Insurance number.
It is also possible that this incorrect tax coding has occurred for some period of time and it is advised to check the rates for the past 6 year period, the maximum at which can be claimed. If a rebate is due, then the HM Revenue may require a written letter for a claim to be made. The below table will assist with the figures that can be claimed…
