So re tax how many hours do I say I work a week if I have a paperwork day and don't do the holidays?

Also my hours sometimes change-this week I'm working every day.

Help!!!!! Don't want to get into trouble for claiming the wrong hours for expenses.

So work out how many hours a week & divide by the number of weeks working or do a spreadsheet putting how many hours you worked each week & claim (say 20%) @ P/T and (say 80%) @ F/T

I have been told you can only claim hours children are in attendence and not paperwork/shopping/training hours.

NickNacks is right - if you are using the concessionary arrangements for childminders where you claim 33% of heat and light for 40+ hours etc. then these hours are hours with mindees, although (inconsistently) I believe they can include school runs etc.

The info I had said it is hours children actually attend, not even contracted hours. I keep a spreadsheet of hours worked through the year, because it is huge to do a whole year at once. Done that a few times !

I've never counted extra hours without children.
