    Self Employed: Mobile Phone on Finance Expense

    Thank you both. That's good to know. It has been taking up a space in the top of my draw for some time now! Such a shame as it is pristine but just doesn't work and not worth the money getting it repaired. I will sling it. Thanks again.

    Self Employed: Mobile Phone on Finance Expense

    Hello everyone, just a quick revival of this thread. To recap, I had a perfectly good working business phone which just stopped working. The retailer John Lewis and Apple were both useless in helping and expected substantial amounts of money to have the device repaired. Seeing as it was already...

    Sole Trader: Tax Return Stocks & Shares

    Thank you both. I have always decared all dividends so looks like I have been doing it right, just wasn't sure if I could claim the costs back. 23-24 no dividends for me which is a shame :(

    Sole Trader: Tax Return Stocks & Shares

    Hello there, Just looking for some advice on completing my tax return. I have always declared any dividends I get from my shares in my tax return along with savings interest from my bank accounts in the Income section of the return. My shares are held with a company who charge quite a lot for...

    Self Employed: Mobile Phone on Finance Expense

    Accural and nope. I have my own personal phone on a different network, when I am working, due to the nature of my job, I can't use my personal phone and vice versa, I would have no need to use my work one as my personal one has unlimited everything unlike the work one. It has always been kept...

    Self Employed: Mobile Phone on Finance Expense

    Yes, though I purchased from John Lewis who have been equally useless. I couldn't run my business for three weeks with no phone, so I had no other option but to get another one. As I said, an absoloute disgrace but I just don't have the resources to carry on with no phone and don't have the time...

    Self Employed: Mobile Phone on Finance Expense

    Hi, I usually outright purchase a mobile phone for my self employed business and and list the full value as an expense as it is 100% used for business purposes, it needs to be high quality with the camera and lots of storage. Then in three or four years, I buy a new one again, sell the old one...

    Sole Trader: Expensive Swivel Chair

    Thanks for your post. This gets so complicated. I thought I had been doing things correctly. You mention that I have not treated sale of capital assets correctly. The way I have done it, would this mean I lose out rather than HMRC? If so, I will leave it. I just don't want any recourse where...

    Sole Trader: Expensive Swivel Chair

    Hello there, I don't have many expenses in my line of self employed IT work as for now at least, almost all hardware is actually provided by my customers. I have been doing substantially more from home than I used to since Covid, so I have had to purchase a proper swivel chair. It was not...

    Sole Trader: Air Conditioning Expense

    Thanks for your comments both. @BustersDogs yes, sorry it has turned into quite a long post as I never expected this would be such a complex issue. In the past couple of years, the temps have been hotter and hotter and working in a 27+ degree room is impossible but unfrotunately, this is my...

    Sole Trader: Air Conditioning Expense

    Hello everyone, just a quick update after quite a while. As I am sure many of you will have noticed, this summer, the weather has been far hotter than it usually is. As a result, my work has been severely impacted as I just cannot work in this sort of heat with the equipment I am working on...

    Covid Self Isolation Payment Tax Return

    Hi there, I have been self employed for some time now. My tax return is always quite simple, I do it all myself without the help of an accountant. Each year, within a few hundred, I charge the same amount and my expenses are the only thing that seem to go up and down, but not by a lot at all...

    Sole Trader: Air Conditioning Expense

    What a lot of replies. Thanks everyone for your responses. I don't have an accountant at the moment, as I just sell my time, no products etc so my accounting is quite simple and my initial accountant actually advised me it would be more cost effective to do it by myself - he is a family friend...

    Sole Trader: Air Conditioning Expense

    Thanks for all of the posts. I did look into a portable one but there is nowhere to vent the pipe and the work involved in putting in a permanent vent would outweigh the cost of just buying a permanent one. You can get ones which you put out of the window, but you then have heat blowing back in...
