No experience of QuickBooks or similar, I just record everything myself.
My invoices are emailed, as are the CIS vouchers (the revenue get these from the main contractor now, so you won't actually need them for your return), so I just tag them "invoices 2021/22" etc.
Same for expenses, tools, PPE etc.
As for allowances, this is what you pay an accountant for. But I claim for laundry, meals (I work away), travel, tool purchases etc. But I don't get into depreciation etc.
@Nef is a sparks, so may have some more detailed advice.
If you're not earning loads, then I wouldn't worry too much: completing the self-assessment is very straightforward and the revenue's staff have been slashed in recent years, so you're unlikely to get pinged if you're not taking the piss too much.
I get a refund every year which covers my NI and a holiday, which is fine by me.

Cheers mate. Most of that is over my head, but I'll pick it up I'm sure.
@Scilly.Suffolk thanks for the reply. I won't be earning loads, I'm already aware about the 20% thing, just not sure what, if anything, I can claim back on. Electrician, if that makes a difference.
