might sound a daft question but what should i put in the ref column, ive not got many reciepts and not sure how to do this bit, any help greatly appreciated

thanks

Not sure what you mean? What system are you using?

I got everything from morton michel and in the expenses part its got a reference column

Sorry i use NCMA. One of the others will help you out though i'm sure. :)

Oh yes I see it... I'm looking at a copy.

I would imagine it's the reference of the bill but I wouldn't worry about it tbh... is this any easier to use? :D

thanks for all the help
yes sarah that looks way so much easier

Thanks Sarah for sharing that

I am interested that you offset a % of your TV licence broadband and house insurance(is that contents or buildings or both) as i didn't know you could do that - so if it's not too nosy a question what % do you offset for each

Does everybody else do this too

I havent done it before but there is a lot I didnt do before finding this forum. I am presuming (am sure someone will correct me) that these might fall into the 10% part and then also reducing the percentage depending on your hours. Does that make sense? It does in my head but not when I read it back.

Yes that's what I do... I use a percentage of the tv for minding (mindees watch it), so I claim for it... the major reason I have broadband is for minding (my use and the children I mind... I look after a lot of older ones) ... my house insurance is like anything else, I might choose not to have it but as I am minding, it is a necessity, therefore I claim a %age, on the sliding scale as described by Annie and the tax link here...

It really is about being able to justify what you claim... if you use it and you can justify it, then claim it.

I am glad you are finding my form helpful. :D

Thanks Sarah - I like your thinking
