I have poured over the revenue site and read a lot of the posts on here but to be honest I am bamboozled and it should not be that way. My understanding is that if one works from home and is self employed then relief should be granted for the following:

Heating/Electric
telephone calls and rental of line
mobile phone costs
internet costs - rental
use of computer/fax/printer
use of car in that cost of insurance, tax, servicing, depreciation, petrol.
meals out
house insurance
office at home
medical bills

BUT there is no where I can find a list or guide to say how to calculate these costs!! There may be even others that I am not aware like consumables, fax paper, copier parper, ink cartridges and so on.

Where is a good place to look or I am going to get a referral to see an accountant?? Income will only be in the region of 18k to 21k. I get no holidays, no sick pay etc.

Did you keep track of your expenses? You calculate them by adding them up. If you didn't, you're hosed.
