What is a tax-deductible expense?
As an SME business owner, every pound counts. Yet year after year, thousands of businesses overpay on their tax bills simply because they aren’t fully claiming what is rightfully theirs.

Join our upcoming webinar, where we break down the complex world of tax-deductible expenses into plain, actionable English.
What you will learn:
- The Essentials: What counts as “wholly and exclusively” for business use.
- Hidden Deductions: Frequently overlooked expenses across tech, travel, and home-working.
- Smart Strategies: How to structure your expenses to legally and safely minimise your tax bill.
- Common Pitfalls: The red flags that trigger HMRC enquiries and how to avoid them.
The session will also explore some of the most common areas of confusion for business owners, including home working costs, business mileage and travel, equipment purchases, software subscriptions and professional services. Jo will explain the principles behind tax deductible expenses, helping attendees understand what can normally be claimed and where extra care may be needed.
This webinar will be recorded and made available on the website. Please register for this event if you are unable to attend the webinar but would like to receive a link to the recording.
