If self-employed then yes you can claim as an expense - would have thought he would have claimed this for you though ?

Your accountant should have included his fee in your accounts which would be shown on your self assessment. However, there is no tax relief for the proportion of his fee which relates to the completion of your self assessment, as this is a personal expense, nothing to do with your business.
