  • Any freelancers ever expensed a loft conversion? Feel it should be legit.

  • Give it a shot and rely on the 11th commandment.

    A while ago my OH was looking at setting up a Ltd for work and was talking to a freelancer mate about it. I overheard some of the things being expensed and was pretty incredulous.

    Now I think about it the accountant is your way. I'll see if I can find their details. They'd definitely have the balls to put it though.

  • Are you going ahead with Creative Spaces? Had a zoom chat with them before xmas which seemed pretty positive, waiting to be hit by the quote.

  • Should be fine so long as you don't use it for anything but work (probably).

  • good luck when you get audited by HMRC. if it was an office pod at the end of the garden i can see that being legit but unless the loft is for 100% business you could come unstuck.

    I have claimed for office chairs/desks/shelving/and some fancy custom ply storage (thats full of gear/big A3 printer/hard drives etc)

    Accountant does something for use of home office but thats it.

    Loft is taking the piss unless it’s a sex room and you are a professional dominatrix or something.

  • If you do I think it means that bit of your home is no longer tax exempt when you sell so would be subject to capital gains tax.

  • ^ as above it would totally come back to haunt you.
