HMRC do a series of free workshops in various cities to help the self-employed with their taxes. Ever tried those? I need to get my head around allowable expenses for working from home before I do my tax return for 2012-13.
I haven't, but my friend is very clued up on allowable expenses. Her speciality is maximising clients' returns. You can claim up to 25% of utility/rent/council tax since you're working from home for starters.
Look into VT software. She sent me the VT cashbook, which she set up for me, to record all expenditure and income, so it's all there on one handy file.
Now I need to either get my hands on some vegetarian marshmallows to make her some rocky road bars, or make her some home made pop tarts.
