£4 a week 'Use of home as an office' which your company can pay you, no tax from you, tax relief for your Limited Company. Saves nearly £50 a year in corporation tax.Originally posted by abc111 View Postwhat i can or cannot consider as useful expenses...i work from home..
That is it. You might be able to reclaim your mobile phone bill if the contract is in your company's name.
Fact is, your company provides you. It doesn't have particularly high costs, which is why your corporation tax bill will be 'high'.
If you're a contractor, use a contractor specialist accountant - Gorilla is who I use. And don't spend all the money you get paid by your client, it isn't all yours to spend. Rule of thumb: allow about 1/3 of what you get in from the client to pay VAT and corp tax. And pay your self assessment tax out of your money, not your company's money.Last edited by Contractor UK; 30 December 2020, 16:00.Taking a break from contractingComment

1) He's tulip. Get rid.
2) You're making this up and are a sockie
3) You've spent all the money, cannot afford the tax bill, are totally f***ed and your accountant has given up on you.See You Next TuesdayComment
