What expenses can I claim for?
You can claim for any business expenses which you have incurred in order to earn your profits. These expenses are normally referred to as revenue expenditure.
Revenue expenditure is your day to day running costs and covers such items as:
If you are registered for VAT the expenses you claim should be exclusive of VAT.
- Purchase of goods for resale
- Wages, rent, rates, repairs, lighting and heating etc.
- Running costs of vehicles or machinery used in the business
- Accountancy fees
- Interest paid on any monies borrowed to finance business expenses/items
- Lease payments on vehicles or machinery used in the business
