Where do I put casual labour/wages on self assessment for my business

suestew

Hi, in previous years there was a section to add any wages paid throughout the year but I cannot find where to put this. To explain, I pay my partner to do the books (yes, they put this on their return too) and there is just one guy I paid to help me out, its under 3k for year. Has it changed? I can't find anything on it.

Can I put it under allowable expenses?

Thanks

There is definitely a self employment expenses box for wages etc

I know I've used it before in the past but I just cannot see it this time

On the self employment form Self-employment (Short) (2024) it is box 13.

Thanks, I am doing the self assessment via the Gov website and it doesn't show that box, but looking at it, it will come under the total expenses and you can do it as just one total. I thought that may be the case but needed to check

You could well have chosen to enter your expenses as one total as opposed to individually in a question at the start of the self-employed section.
