Is Clothing Tax Deductible? 👔
Updated: Jul 25, 2022
The self-employed are allowed a tax deduction for the cost of:
protective clothing necessary for your work
uniforms
costumes for actors or entertainers
Everyday clothing is not a tax-deductible expense (even if worn for work).

Protective clothing generally includes Hard-hats, gloves, steel-toe capped boots and hi-viz vests.
Uniforms are expected to include the business logo.
Tax tip: Turn everyday clothing into a uniform by having it printed or embroidered with the business logo.
