Expenses Query: Office space

Didn't find your answer?

My husband is self-employed and last year he paid for a carpenter to design and fit new desks, cupboards, shelves etc. into the office (room) in our house. I am just wondering whether any part of this expense could be offset as expenses since approximately 70% of the time the office is only used for business-related stuff?

Any guidance is most appreciated.

The accountant who deals with your husband's business will be able to answer this. Ideally your husband should have talked this over with his accountant before he went ahead rather than afterwards. If you are asking because you disagree with his accountant's view then you either need to start trusting the advice you receive or else find an accountant that you do trust.

The OP has previously asked questions refering to a "client" ....
