[DaveG]

if you keep reciepts everything thats related to your business should be tax deductable mate

[Niall McAllister]

A guide line, NOT A RULE, if you can honestly say it's for the business, you will probably be able to claim

[dazmond]

everything u use for ur business fuel,scrims,ladders,rubbers etc.keep reciepts for EVERYTHING!

[DaveG]

printer. stationery, printer cartridges, work wear....the list is endless

[AuRavelling79]

Insurances; trade association membership; training courses.

Fuel cost, road tax, vehicle insurance. Consumables, allmost all tools, computers, printers, stationary, clothing, life cover key worker, personal expenses (to a degree), website costs, public liability insurance, phone bills if used solely for business. Just a few off the top of my head.

If you got one room in the house solely as your office, you can claim part of your rent/counciltax/fuelbills.

I don't have life cover so cannot really comment on it. You just claim for it as you spend on it I assume.

Yes they are mate

[Ian Rochester]

Finding a good accountant can be hard work.  Best to speak to other small businesses in your area, hairdressers, garages, etc, and see who they are using and if they would recommend them.

Depends on the size of your business, if it's just you, or a small business you can definitely do it yourself. It's not too difficult.

[idealrob]

Sorry, I always thought accountant fees were not deductable, but fully accept my mistake
