Self employed tax and money question
« on: January 30, 2012, 02:04:46 pm »
Hi, just wondered if you were self employed and went and bought a complete Wfp system would you be able to claim the money back as for the business?

Some of it would be classed as a capital item. So you would get a % every year.

Hi mate, some right monkeys n here, take no notice.
If you need help with a tax issue I will help you

You can claim it back, and the whole amount, it's classed as a capital allowance. Pending you wash widows with the system for more than 90 percent of your round.

Same for a van if you use it for wholly a business venture and not a single mile personal.

A capital is something you must or advised by health and safety that you use for your business in order to make money. If you go down the road of multiple machines or vans ect, you will normally get a reduced rate of 25percent per year off your final tax bill.

A work shirt for instance is not, as you could clean them naked. But highly unlike
Y

Hope that helps my friend

Work ware is tax deductible safety foot ware as well.

You can't claim anything back. You will not receive dosh from the Inland Revenue at some point. The cost of equipment is only offset against any income tax you may have to pay. You will pay less tax the more you buy for your business mate.

if you haven't started trading, I've been told can't claim for things. once your working its different. don't know if that's true, but my wife did nail technician course, and inland revenue said couldn't claim as hadn't started trading at that stage.....

Suggest you go on a HMRC course to learn how to do your books and what you can claim for, or get an accountant.....yes their fees can count as a business overhead.
You have until midnight tomorrow evening to file your tax return on line and pay what ever you owe.

I didnt realise you meant on something you had spent on

I thought you were saying you could just claim it no matter what

I was having a blonde moment :)
