What Expenses Can Hairdressers and Beauticians Claim?
Money that is spent on day to day business may be eligible to be written off against tax. This includes the cost of equipment, beauty products and the costs incurred from training and maintaining your skillset. Having this option means that it is possible to significantly reduce the tax that is owed by keeping an accurate record of any business outgoings and including the details on the self-assessment tax return.
