I am a self employed sales rep and need to do my tax return.
The form looks easy but i cannot think of much expenditure to claim.
Is there anything i should consider as well as motor/travel, use of home & stationery.

How about bank charges, telephone and mobile calls, accountants's charges, computer supplies, business insurance and postage? If you have a wife or partner who does not have another job, you could probably also claim a modest payment - but it must be actually made and be capable of justification. You can also claim a depreciation allowance in the form of capital allowances on your motor vehicle.
Your question gives the impression that you do not have an accountant. You might find it worthwhile, both financially and practically, to engage one.

I wouldn't recommend tackling the SA form without professional advice. You are likely to save tax and sleep easier!
