    It struck me today that I have been working for myself for the best part of this year, and haven't gave the government any of my money! I'm guessing I need to do that soon or they will send me to jail or something :laugh: Anybody (in the UK) got any advice? Recomendations for applications to work it out etc? I have brought a tonne of tech (computers, phones, tablets etc) to do my job which I understand is tax deductible. I work from home a lot too so maybe the electric/broadband is deductible also? I'm crawling Google now to learn what I need to do but thought I would ask on here also as I might get some good advice from fellow freelancers Cheers!

            If you are self employed anything that allows you to do your job is a business expense, and therefore deductible. This includes, car, home, electric, all IT purchases, training, entertaiment, comestibles (coffee tea etc)... literally, anythnig youcan think of.

                    Go see an accountant. I did, and was surprised how much they were able to help - it literally put thousands in my pocket. They know the rules inside out. Is it worth your time to become an expert in this area? Plus, their fees are tax deductible.

                        As well as getting an accountant you need to register your business (Ltd company or sole trader) with HMRC as soon as possible. If you leave it until they find you then you are in for a whole lot of trouble.
