  • UK Visa Fees Tax Deductible For Sole Traders?

    I came to the UK on a Start-Up visa to work as a sole trader for one of the UK Start-Up visa endorsing bodies (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/endorsing-bodies-start-up/start-up). I.e. my sole tradership in the UK required me to incur travel costs like UK visa fee, health surcharge, plane tickets, moving company costs etc. Can I include the above mentioned costs in my self-assessment and deduct them from the tax? I found a regulation stating that UK visa costs are tax-deductible for employees, but nothing as to sole traders Thank
