help with payee and diviend on tax return

landybabe

Thank you for reading

My other half was employeed by a company and paid via payee, he also was a director of a other company and paid diviends.

He was before this self employeed and has since gone back to being self employeed

But our question is can he claim on his tax return for expenses that the above two companys didnt pay him, but needed to do his job?

The expenses we were thinking are the cost
of his works van, insurance tax(used only for work as his has a car to) but not fuel

A training course

Thank you

I was confused by payee until I worked out that you meant PAYE!

Is there a period of self employment to be included on this tax return? If there is then there shouldn't be any issue including any qualifying expenses incurred. If not, and it's only the PAYE and dividends that were the sources of income then it's less likely that expenses can be claimed - certainly not for the PAYE job, possibly for the directorship but you'd really need to get proper advice (i.e. not from random strangers on a forum) to be sure.
