Percentages

[littlesprogs]

I know the percentages vary for gas/elec/council tax etc depending on how many hours worked.

But for other things like tv license, sky, phone, mobile phone, broadband, insurances, breakdown cover etc what are the percentages for these?

thanks

The t.v license can't be put in the accounts unless it is solely used for child minding, the phone is the total cost of all your business calls, broadband i wouldn't have thought you could claim unless its solely used for childminding and breakdown cover cant be claimed if you are basing your mileage on the AMP Rule (40p a mile) only if you are claiming actual mileage costs

Hope this helps::)

I agree.

For your insurance you can put down whatever extra they charged you due to childminding.
