    Claiming a laptop as a business expense with Parasol

    Hi there!

    I am a newbie contractor, so I am not the best will all that contractor stuff yet, so please be understanding to the questions that may seem obvious.

    I want to get a laptop - it will cost 700GBP.

    I want to claim it as a business expense. I am with Parasol, and I think I am allowed to do it.

    1st question: if it costs 700, how much (I know nobody will give me a precise estimate) would I save on it? I have not a slightest idea how this all works, so please can somebody explain that to me? How to break it down, so that I know what to expect?

    2nd question: how to convince Parasol that it will be for business use - would an explenation that it's for training on the new software/operating system do?

    Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate is as a new in this kind of employment.

    Chris
