I am happy I've helped you!

Hey there! Thanks for clarifying your query. To answer your question, yes, professional fees and other allowable work-related expenses are typically taken into account when calculating net income. Net income is generally calculated by subtracting allowable deductions from gross income. These deductions can include a range of expenses related to your work, such as professional fees, equipment costs, and travel expenses, among others. Of course, the specific deductions that are allowable will depend on your particular situation and the tax laws in your country or region. So, if you have any further questions about what expenses are deductible or how they will be factored into your net income calculation, it's probably best to consult with a tax professional. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.

The Child Benefit tax calculator may have estimated your tax charge based on your estimated income for the year, whereas your self-assessment form is based on your actual income for the tax year. If your income increased significantly during the year, the amount of tax you owe could be higher than the estimate provided by the calculator. Another case can be that the self-assessment form takes into account all of your deductions and credits, which could reduce the amount of tax you owe. The Child Benefit tax calculator may not have accounted for all of your deductions, resulting in a higher estimate of your tax liability.
