Ask Integro: What expenses can I claim when working from home?

Question submission date: April 2020

Full Question: Given that I’m working from home now due to COVID-19 – can you confirm what expenses I am reasonably able to claim?

As a limited company you can claim for any expenses you have incurred to ensure you can continue running your business. Working from home is a legitimate business expense, providing that you will be using it solely for business. For example, computer screens, webcam for video meetings etc. that is allowed.

The use of home claim has increased to £26 per month from April 2020 and this is the amount you can claim without keeping any records.

Alternatively, you could proportion your utility bills such as electricity, water, council tax (not mortgage payments) based on the number of rooms in your house and also the number of hours you spend working. Please note that if you choose this option, you will need to keep records to support these claims and we can help you with this.

I am delighted I switched to Integro Accounting the best decision I have made this year.In particular, I wanted to highlight how fantastic Natasha Walsh has been. It's certainly not been easy to switch from my old accountant, who has been very difficult. However, Natasha has been amazing, extremely helpful and very supportive.I always think it's important to pass on excellent service when received and i have certainly received superb service from Natasha and Integro.

Response from the owner: Thank you Jane for this fantastic review. We are so glad that Natasha and the team are providing you with outstanding service and support.

Until recently I have always done my own accounts. Things have become a little more complex and I was feeling overwhelmed. I searched high and low for an accountant I could work with who had my best interests at heart. I did not have a good experience with probably 10-12 firms on this journey! At one firm I had spoken to 6 people (across multiple departments) and I hadn't even started working with them.At Integro, Alan Kempster has been a real breath of fresh air. Calm, professional, completely reassuring. Integro manage you and your accounts as an individual. Alan is simply tremendous and has allowed me to focus on the business and not the headache of getting the numbers right. I can ask any questions at any time and nothing seems too much trouble. I can highly recommend Integro to anyone wanting an amazing service in a friendly and supportive way. We even manage to have a laugh over some of my bonkers ideas! He does keep me on the straight and narrow.Thank you Integro! Great find. Definitely 5 Stars plus. :)

Response from the owner: Thank you Penney for this outstanding review. We are se pleased that Alan and team have made you feel fully reassured as your new accountants.

I came across Integro through an internet search having just set up a new Transport Planning Consultancy. A year on and I am happy to say it has turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made. I have found Alan and the team to be friendly and efficient, keeping me on track with accounting deadlines so I can focus on delivering for my clients. No question is too small. I would definitely recommend them to other small businesses.

Response from the owner: Thank you Anna for the feedback so happy for the recommendation.
