Seriously losing the will to live!

Hiya,

Everytime I think ive got everything on the expenses, more crop up like handwash, paper towels, increase in dishwashing tablets, anti-bac spray etc. How are people claiming these?

Also, childcare wasnt required in the easter holidays, so ive been paid for it but no expenses. How do I work out the heating etc? Is this over 2 weeks as I worked 2 weeks in april?

I think i need to go on a crash course! our LA did a session on it on our childcare course but no where in depth that it should be. Looking back through my notes it shoes wear and tear 10% as a weekly amount?! Surely, this is annually?

Im hoping its gonna get easier once ive got the hang of it!

Seriously thank you for anyone who can help - getting myself into a right mess. Surely its not that difficult!

if you do it weekly or annually it will work out the same at the end of the year anyway!!

hi

you need to work out an average week for hygiene products ect. I put £10 per month through my books for all my toilet roll, papertowels, cleaning stuff ect. But i only have 1 schoolie using tissues ect, the others are babies.

then for heating ect at the end of the year (april-april) you get your yearly bill and take a percentage from it, depends on how many hours you work on an average week. You then add this to your expenses. i wouldnt worry about working it out per week.

don't worry about claiming expenses when not working hon, if you buy something it's an expense.

also I just wait til year end with my accounts and just take off the allowance of the whole year, I don't pro-rate it with non=-working weeks.

I know that although I work 4 days per week and only 2 in the hols my average hours are still 40+ per week over the year.

Don't stress!

I would do your elec/gas/utilities at the end of the year if you are working full time. I just take the percentage of the whole amount I pay each year

Wear and tear can be done at anytime you want - you can take 10% of your weekly, monthly or yearly income and totalled they will all be the same.
