Questions, answered.
Allowable expenses are costs incurred wholly and exclusively for the business: materials and stock, tools and equipment, insurance, software, phone and internet (business share), professional fees and vehicle costs. Larger equipment may qualify for capital allowances, and the £1,000 trading allowance is an alternative if it beats your real costs.
Yes. Everything is done online, so we act for clients in Penkridge, Gnosall, Eccleshall, Stone, Great Haywood, Colwich and the wider Stafford area for the same fixed fee from £199 + VAT.
