Hi

I work self employed with my partner we are both self employed and have a partnership.

We work from home in a 1 bedroom flat

our work space is the living room, Are we able to get allowance on this? if so what % on the rent and electricity

really stuck on what to put down, or if we are allowed to.

Thanks

Becky

    If it is shared usage, you can only claim a flat rate which is £156 for the year OTTOMH. You can only claim an allowance on a room as the percentage of rent and electricity if that room is used solely for the purpose of the business.
