  • MEALS AT HOME

    I'm a self employed sports journalist working from home. When I'm reporting away from home, I can provide receipts for meals taken during my work time, but what about at home? I have lunch but it is sourced from food at home. How do I claim for this when I am working from home from 9 am until 6pm? Is there a fixed sum I can claim without providing evidence?
  • DENTAL COSTS FREELANCE SPEAKING SPORTS JOURNALIST

    I was due to due a commentary and I had a dental emergency whilst on duty - can I claim for dental costs? I had to absent from work for a couple of hours.
  • Leaving PAYE and Continuing Self Employment

    I have been PAYE and self employed for a few years. I do annual self assessment. I've decided to leave PAYE end of August 2024 and concentrate on my self employed journalism from Septeber 2024. How do I calculate my Personal Tax Allowance for the remainder of this tax year 2024/25 and will I need to pay NICs - I reckon I could earn around £20,000 in a full year. Anyone for guidance on this please
