💼 Self-employed? Make sure you're claiming the business expenses you're entitled to.

Allowable expenses can reduce your taxable profit and help lower your Income Tax bill. These may include office costs, travel, business insurance, marketing, staff costs and, if you work from home, a proportion of your household bills.

Remember:
✔️ Only claim the business element of mixed-use expenses.
✔️ If you claim the £1,000 trading allowance, you can't also claim business expenses.
✔️ Good record-keeping helps you maximise your tax relief and makes completing your tax return much easier.
