What Expenses Can You Claim?
One of the biggest ways self-employed people overpay tax is by missing legitimate expenses. We make sure nothing is left on the table.
Common claimable expenses include:
Vehicle costs and mileage (including Uber and delivery drivers)
Tools, equipment, and materials
Phone and internet bills (business use)
Work clothing and uniforms
Home office costs
Professional subscriptions and training
Marketing and advertising costs
Accountancy fees (yes, our fee is tax-deductible!)
