Computer &amp; Printer<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Think about what you use to communicate with clients. You may use a mobile phone, a laptop, or tablet to take bookings, research, learn or share photos and videos with pet owners missing their furbaby.

Use of your Home<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>There are rules that will allow you to claim an amount for the running costs of being a self employed pet sitter from your home as a portion of your household bills such as gas, water, electricity, mowing the lawn, or rent. Make sure you have an idea of your household running costs to discuss with your accountant at tax return time as they will help you work out how much you might be able to claim against your taxable income.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>9. Treats, Pet Food and Toys<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You need to keep pets\u00a0enriched, fed, and watered, so keep your receipts for any of these costs. This way you may be able to claim a tax deduction.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>10. Accounting &amp; Bookkeeping<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Keeping good business records will save you stress, time, and hassle in the long run. It will also help you to avoid forgetting out entitlements you may be eligible to claim.\u00a0 The more organised you are, the less fees you&#8217;ll also be charged by your Accountant.\u00a0 Using a cloud based accounting software such as Xero, Quickbooks or Wave will make life easier, so if you do choose to sign up the cost of the monthly subscription may be tax deductible. Then, if you choose to use an accountant to complete your self assessment tax return, again their fees will be an allowable expense.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>11. Bank Charges<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is advisable to open a business bank account and be sure to record your business and personal expenditure separately. The bank charges you pay on your business bank account may be treated as an expense you might be able to claim as a tax deduction.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong>12.
