Common questions

What expenses can a UK freelancer claim?

HMRC allows self-employed people to deduct expenses incurred "wholly and exclusively" for business purposes. Common categories include home office costs, professional subscriptions, equipment, software, travel on business, and accountancy fees.

Can I claim my home office as a freelancer?

Yes. If you work from home you can claim a proportion of household expenses (rent, utilities, broadband) based on rooms used or time worked, or use HMRC's flat-rate simplified expenses of £10–£26/month depending on hours worked from home.

How does FFCC find deductions specific to my profession?

FFCC uses Claude AI to apply HMRC rules to your specific profession and expense list, returning a categorised result with direct references to HMRC manuals (e.g., BIM47820 for home office).
