tax deduction for home insurance

[moogalicious]

As a childminder, can I claim expenses for my home insurance or is this covered under the percentage of household expenditure calculation.

TIA

Have you told your insurer you have a home-based business? Some insurers have exclusions for business use, you might find you're not covered.
How do your childminding activities have home insurance implications anyway. I presume any damage the mindees do is covered by your NCMA insurance, any damage you cause while minding is covered by your PLA.
Any external factors would have happened whether you were minding or not.

Ah, I can claim 10% wear and tear so I guess that answers my question! My tax return is just over the threshold So I'm clutching At Straws Trying To Get It Down. Thanks for replying
