You need to register for self-assessed Income Tax on form TR1. Expenses "wholly and exclusively" incurred in the performance of your work are deductible. CD's, adverts, phone, equippment ( cost x12.5% pa for 8 years ) etc. Regarding motor you can claim a % of your motor costs based on the actual costs incurred for fuel, tax,insurance,servicing, Wear & Tear, finance interest, applied to the miles travelled as a % of your total mileage for the year. You cannot claim a mileage allowance, you must base the claim on acutal costs.
Your profit ( income les allowable costs ) is taxed as a top slice of your income so if you are already a higher rate taxpayer it would be at 41% + PRSI + Levies.
