40 Allowable Expenses You Can Claim On Your Self Assessment Tax Return

Does one need to be VAT registered to claim back these expenses or are they available to all sole traders?

Thank you so much for sharing 💯 It's very useful information.

I have a question that needs your help. I am an UberEat driver. Can I know is the mileage from home to the workplace is considered personal use? For example, drive the car from home to the place to wait for the order. Would that still count as work-related? Also, from that place to home, would it count as work-related?

And sometimes we will stay in the car to wait for the next order. Will the waiting still count as work? Or does it count for personal use?

Thanks a lot for your help😊

My accountant told me that claiming business use on your home, say 20%, would leave you subject to a capital gains tax liability on 20% the house price increase over the period that you claimed when you sell.

As a lorry driver I have to pick up a lorry from the yard which is a set location, so would my travel expenses to the yard be allowable?

Thanks! Most useful and informative 👍
