claim for all you can ie clothes bills, part fone bill, part elecy bill fuel as you do little bit of work from home & just get as many receipts as poss better in your pocket than the tax mans !!!!!!!!!! theres lots more to claim back the list goes on get an accountant they will put you right !!!!!!! Good Luck fellow window washer lol !!!!!!!!

I claim for a % of electric use in house as part of office costs
Food for my Peice
Tax on van, petrol, repairs ect..
computer costs
phone costs
first aid
along side all cleaning costs


i would recommend getting an accountant when u get established, best of luck

when claiming for part house bills i was advised by an accoutant to claim 1/24 of the bills as i live in a small house and i only do an hour a day clerical (or 7 hours a week)
the point i make about  small house is that the office room does have non business things in there and somtimes i do work down stairs.

if i was doing 2 hours then i would claim 2/24 this way when tax man asks he wont challenge you as you have worked out your share in the most simple way.
