SWMBO has a new job with the NHS travelling to schools and working with childrens mental health and I'm facing the prospect of going inside so want to explore expenses through Self Assessment. NHS have sorted much of the kit, travelling etc expenses wise but Mrs NLUK has still bought quite a bit of stuff for herself, dictaphone, camera set up, stationary, aids to help children settle while she works with them etc all out of her own pocket. My gig appears to provide most of what I need but I'll be staying away a few nights plus general stuff.
So what's the craic with claiming stuff on SA? Anyone got good tips on what to claim?
Printer Ink/Stationary - She prints crap loads of stuff for work so comfortable with business use.
Laptop bag above the simple one that comes with laptop for all her gear
Tech gadgets - Use for work only and not provided so assume this counts
Occassional extra mileage not expenses through work
Professional subscriptions (if on HMRC's list)
Home office use
Anything else I can't think of at the moment that is purely for work
And for me with umbrella, no expenses unless billed to client so for SA...
Contract is hybrid with one day mandated on site - Can I claim anything above i.e. mileage, overnights and subsistence? Being asked to come in for more days that the contract isn't commuting anymore surely?
Visits to different sites will be expected and waiting for an answer on expenses for those but if it's not allowed I assume I can claim these.
Tech gadgets - e.g. those expanding screens you can hook up to a laptop, wireless mouse and keyboard etc etc.
Home office use
Anything else?
Anyone got any thoughts on the above? Do people claim from SA or don't bother? Is this a grey area and one we have a right to maximise or is it so tight it's not worth doing generally? Any other items I might have forgotten about?
