Can I claim my mobile phone on expenses?

You can claim the cost of the phone, any case and also the apps as well as any phone insurance.

Moreover, under simplified expenses, mobile phone costs can also all be allowed if you use the phone extensively for your work without deduction for personal use. This is because if the phone is on contract it is impossible to split the individual phone calls for business and personal use.

Here are some other allowable expenses you might wish to consider:

• Computers
• Stationary
• Using your home as an office (but only the part that’s used for business)
• Travel expenses, including the costs of any vehicles used for business
• Clothing such as uniforms or protective wear
• Raw materials or stock for resale
• Costs of hiring accountants and solicitors, plus professional indemnity insurance
• Website & advertising costs

The government website has a really helpful and detailed guide to expenses if you are self employed which gives more detail on what you can and can’t claim.
