Find out more about the expenses you can claim
Contractor expenses and tax relief
As a contractor, you have the option to claim allowable expenses before calculating the tax you need to pay.
This reduces the amount of tax you need to pay as your tax is calculated based upon a lower amount of income than those in permanent employment.
When contractors set up a limited company, they can take home even more of their income by claiming these expenses to reduce their corporation tax bill, leaving company profit left over to spend as they choose.
