don't understand why you feel the need to single my reply out for your snub.

every post on this board should be answered with ask HMRC don't ask internet strangers, but people do set out answers as start points, referenced with guidance as I did .

and there are many examples of HMRC staff inconsistency so pointing someone at HMRC own manual serves to arm them with a rudimentary background on which to judge HMRC's reply ,

If I was the OP I would rather have a definite answer from HMRC tgan accept a ‘doubtful’ reply.

Me too. Unfortunately that is not the way that HMRC works.

Based on the thin facts extracted from the original post, the individual is (i) an employee, and (ii) has bought an app "which helps her deliver to remote places", its cost will not be deductible for tax purposes. If it was a necessity for each and every delivery driver, the position may well be different. But it's not. If you want to get geeky, this is an easy to read page of HMRC's manuals that summarises the legislation.

Of course, if the facts change then the tax treatment might change.
