TAX AUDIT // ELECTRICAL TRADE // ESTIMATE TOOL
How Much Tax Are You Losing?
A 60-second estimate of what you might be leaving unclaimed as an electrician.
ABOUT THIS CALCULATOR
Most self-employed electricians underclaim rather than overclaim on their tax return, simply because tracking mileage, tools, certifications and home office costs by hand is tedious and easy to let slide during a busy week.
This calculator gives a rough estimate of what you might be leaving unclaimed each year, based on standard UK allowable expense categories – business mileage at HMRC’s approved rates, tools and PPE, workwear, phone use, training such as 18th Edition or NICEIC courses, and the flat-rate home office allowance.
It’s a starting point, not a tax return – the exact figure depends on your income, other allowances and how HMRC treats your specific circumstances, so it’s worth checking with an accountant before you submit a claim.
Do you currently track and claim all your allowable expenses properly, or mostly estimate at tax time?
Be honest – this just decides which path we take you down.
