Broadband costs

in Cutting tax
I'm a self-employed sole trader working from home. I can't be bothered with claiming things like electricity etc for my home office (I get too stressed about what would be a suitable amount). And I don't make any work calls, so I don't claim for telephone at all. But I've always claimed a percentage of my broadband costs back - I pay about £14 a month, so I've put down £5 per month assuming that it is used for work during the day and personal evenings/weekends. Does that sound reasonable?

Sounds reasonable to me. If a third of the use of the broadband is for work then I don't think the Revenue would object to a third of the cost being claimed as a business expenses.0
