Hi, I started my business in June 2021 as a self employed nail tech. Prior to this (in the few months before) I bought gel polishes/files etc. Can I claim this as expenses as start up costs even though this was before i set my business up? Or will I not be able to add this to my expenses as part of my self employed self assessment tax return?
Hi HeleRafferty30, thanks for your post - pre-registration expenses can typically be claimed for up to seven years prior to the date you started trading; if you're unsure or would like to double-check, we recommend reaching out to your accounting professional or the HMRC self-employed helpline for further support. :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:
