if you are self employed it depends what you are reading, where you are reading, how you got to the reading. So I have expenses to go to the archieves/libary. A grey area is if I buy a book is that it should have an elemet of being a reference book and then it has probably to be treated as a capital allowence. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/factsheets/expens...wances.pdf. I presume that if I paid someone to do the reading I could call that research. The way to get it so that my research was costed would be to set up a business and pay me a salary, I think but have never gone down that route.
when you are self employed the hours that you work is a bit of a trick question. There quite a few forms which ask the question of how many hours you work, tax credits being one of them. Recently there was some moaning going on about tax credits only being available to those families working 24 hour in a week up from 16 to be eligible to claim. Seems to me that you could claim that you had a self employed business. I currently run three. How many you running hosty?
