Aww you spoiled his fun, he had just order a full set of workwear and sign written van !

 

[Mr Tiler]

yeh I realised after posting it is only vat that is taken off..... need a van first Neale.

 

[Gazzer]

No its not Vat, unless you are Vat registered which you wont be for a long time if ever.

 

[Mr Tiler]

is it not v.a.t that you can avoid when self employed and buying a new pair of shoes for 'work purposes' then? lol what tax is it?

 

[Gazzer]

Yes if you are vat registered.

 

[Mr Tiler]

im confused.... someone I once worked with who is deffinately not earning 79,000 a year told me he purchased some very nice shoes that were for 'work' and said he could claim the tax back for them. so what tax is deducted from a class 2 sole trader that purchases logo'd clothing? the only tax I have ever heard of is v.a.t

 

[Gazzer]

Yes anything related to your work is tax deductable but its not Vat.

 

[Chalker]

Most likely claim 20% income tax. But if you earn less than £10,000 you won't pay any tax and therefore won't get any relief.
Hope this makes some sense.

yes mate only looked at it breifley last night but tbh in my first year of self employment I would barley if anywhere near earn £5,725 so wouldn't even be paying my N.I Contributions so would probably still be signing on to get my tick! lol
