In this section we look at contractor expenses and provide a comprehensive contractor accountancy guide to what you can and can’t claim. The expenses guide also looks at the impact of being inside or outside IR35, as well as the 2 year rule. Our article on tax deductions introduces the ‘use of home as office’ which allows contractors to claim a fixed weekly amount if they work from home.
