I've been a consultant for a few years and have always done my own tax returns. My job usually involves working from the offices of the business I'm working for.
I've always done my own tax returns. I never claim any expenses. I just declare what I've earned. Should I be claiming any expenses and would it be beneficial to hire an accountant? Would I just provide them with my invoices and receipts once a year and pay them to do my return?
Also in terms of record keeping, all I do is keep a file on my computer with all my invoices. The invoices themselves each list the days I've worked. Is this enough?
Rather embarrassed about my lack of knowledge in this area.....!
