HOW MUCH DOES BRANDING COST?

WHAT ARE THE TAX IMPLICATIONS OF A UNIFORM?
Any corporate clothing provided to a wearer for which he has not himself paid, may be seen by HMRC as a "benefit in kind" and the wearer may have to pay the appropriate tax. However, provided the garment has the company logo clearly displayed and it cannot be removed i.e. embroidered or woven label applied (tax tab) that is sufficient proof that the item belongs to the company.
