Thanks for the response, rebeccajturner.
Allow me to chime in and clarify why the dog walker insurance premium is tracked as disallowable expense.
This can happen if you’ve selected the simplified expense method to calculate the deduction and also entered the number of hours on the Tax profile. You’ll have to update the settings for your QuickBooks Self-Employed account, so it will be categorised as allowable allowance.
Here’s how:
- Go to the Gear icon at the top, then choose Tax profile.
- In the Tax profile window, go to the Do you work from home? section.
- Remove the hours entered in the field box.
- Click on Save.
After changing your profile, go to the Taxes tab and open the Self-Assessment summary Report. From there, you should see the insurance is already tracked under Allowable expenses.
Just in case, check out this article for more details: Work from home deduction.
