Running office from home? - can I claim for tax purposes?

Posted 25 June 2014

I am permanently employed and run my office from home , the company pays a portion of the rental and I pay the balance, this is not reflected on my payslip though, they merely deduct my portion of the rent from my salary and pay the full amount to the estate agents. The deduction is under "other" on my payslip, my question is will I be able to claim any amounts back for electricity , security etc etc ?

When should I register as provisional taxpayer from?

Posted 23 June 2014

I'm concerned that projected earnings to Feb15 will inflate what I'd need to pay in August, considering I wouldn't have earned it yet to keep the extra tax aside?
