Get an accountant. Save lots of money. Or, don't bother, and ask window cleaners instead.

I do have an accountant, but just wondered if there is more to claim back.

Its more my fault on not keeping track of spending online.

  That's what your accountant is for. What you doing when you're talking to him/her?

Done my own returns up until now, first year with proper accountant

wine, champagne, beers, chocolates etc that you give to your big contracts.

you cant actually claim for this unfortunately  

Best to get an accountant to do your returns for you. They'll know exactly what you can claim and will save you money in the long term.

They're not just there to do tax returns. They answer the questions you asked on here. Who would you rather take advice off about expenses, us on CIU, or the guy you're paying for to do just that? When you have time mate, ring for an appointment and take a list of what you want to ask.

Remember, every expense you claim for has to be justifiable- fish & their tanks in a self employed window cleaners home office is not. Don't forget, it will be you who will have to prove every penny & every percentage breakdown of every claim should they require you to do so with the possibility of backdating the scrutiny of your entire accounts for the last 6 years!

Best way to claim IMO is "use of home as office". A reasonable amount which will cover your office space & laundry expenses subject to inflation year on year. Doesn't have to be exact, just there abouts, reasonable.
