Understanding what you can claim as a business expense can be confusing, but getting it right can save you money and help you stay compliant. This practical workshop explains the rules around allowable expenses, what you can and can’t put through your business, and how to keep accurate records so you stay organised and confident when managing your finances.
We’ll cover the theory behind claiming business expenses, the records you need to keep, and simple ways to stay on top of your bookkeeping. The session will also explore common areas where business owners often have questions, including claiming business mileage, working from home allowances, meetings and client costs, gifts, clothing, and seasonal expenses such as Christmas-related spending.
This session is designed for businesses based in Edinburgh and the Lothians only, and is ideal for sole traders, freelancers and small business owners who want clarity on allowable expenses and easy to follow practical guidance.
Slides and supporting materials will be shared after the session with businesses who attend.
