Hi,
Just been on a business start up course and wanted clarification on the question below.
I was told that if you were working from home (as a self employed spark) then you could offset a % of your utility bills through your tax return. This included gas, electric, water & phone.
Is this because the phone could be used for business, water used to wash work clothes, electric used to run business & gas used to keep warm whilst doing work related stuff?
Does anyone know what % is used or is it upto Inland Revenue.
Thanks
Matt
