What expenses can I claim?

Category: Documents

You can generally claim costs that are “wholly and exclusively” for your business or income. Examples:

  • Self-employed: materials, stock, advertising, website costs, accountancy fees, a portion of home office costs, business travel, professional subscriptions, etc.
  • Landlords: letting agent fees, repairs, insurance, safety certificates, a share of certain running costs, etc.
  • Employees: only some very specific unreimbursed expenses qualify.

The rules can be detailed and grey areas are common (home working, mobile phones, cars, clothing, mixed-use costs).

We’ll review your situation, identify allowable expenses, and make sure your self assessment tax return claims everything you’re entitled to – without crossing HMRC’s line.
