Grr!!! This is driving me maaaad! I remember seeing a post from someone about being able to claim on their tax return for tools they had before they became self-employed and that you just had to get a reasonable second-hand costing from somewhere such as ebay. Was I dreaming this or is this the case? I've had a look through the other tax related threads but can't for the life of me find the thread that I thought this was in.
I've just usefully found out that the Class 2 NI contributions I was told I had to pay by my local tax office, even though I told them I have a full-time job and am paying Class 1 contributions already, don't actually have to be paid so I can get a refund!!! Hurrah!!!! I've now got to do some costings and send them to HMRC to prove that I will not earn £5,075 on my jewellery by the end of the tax year. I've not done a tax return yet so I want to make sure I'm including all relevant costings. (Thanks to Annie for her useful list back in August from her HMRC workshop!)
