Grafting from Home

Morning Ilyas
I was hoping you could help me out mate (seriously, and you can add this to your newsletter if u want)

What can I do about claiming for electricity for working from home all the time, my bills are high and I do not contribute from the business, what can I claim back through the business on a monthly basis?? I need to get this set up ASAP. Many Thanks as always. Ants


Dear Ants
You work nights out of back of a van,
showing porno movies in village halls and sleep during the day. The only electricity bill you should have is the electric blanket on your bed!

The simplest method to claim for any bills you incur as a direct result of working from home is to total all your bills and apportion part of it to the business and claim so much per week. Isolating part of a house for business use and claiming all expenditure against that part of the house is in my
opinion not a good idea. The problem with this is that when you sell your house part of the proceeds will be liable to Capital Gains Tax.

Don’t be greedy claim a few quid a week and wear a jumper.
