Is This Tax Deductible?

A Simple Guide to What You Can (and Can’t) Claim in Your UK Massage Business

If you’re a self-employed massage therapist, you’ve probably asked yourself this question more than once.

The rules around tax-deductible expenses can be confusing, and the information on the HM Revenue & Customs website is scattered, technical, and never written with massage therapists in mind.

After discovering I’d been making mistakes in my own business — despite being careful and well-intentioned — I spent over 100 hours researching HMRC guidance and pulling together what actually applies to massage therapists.

This book saves you that time.

Inside, you’ll find clear, plain-English explanations of:

• which expenses are usually allowable

• which are sometimes allowable, depending on how you work

• which look reasonable but aren’t — and why

With over 100 common expenses explained and the grey areas clearly laid out, this book helps you avoid costly mistakes, stop second-guessing yourself, and feel confident you’re paying the right amount of tax.

If you want peace of mind — and a reliable reference you can return to whenever the question arises — this book was written for you.
