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.
