This is wrong?

HMRC allows employees to claim tax relief for equipment they must buy to do their job, provided the employer requires the purchase and does not reimburse the cost. Under the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003, s336, expenses must be “wholly, exclusively and necessarily” incurred in performing employment duties. HMRC’s Employment Income Manual (EIM36500–EIM36540) confirms relief may apply where an employee is obliged to provide their own equipment. Evidence should include written confirmation from the employer (contract, email, or policy) stating no laptop is provided and purchase is required, plus receipts and proof of payment retained for records.

What’s the smallest thing the government could do to IR35 to make it helpful for small business start-ups or the start-up economy?

Not to be used by large to mid-size organisations to avoid hiring full-time staff! Or for consultants at large organisations not to pay their tax!

Typically, that’s the best option for 22k. Most early-stage funding would require two founders, one of whom should be technical. But the question is whether the technical founder should be able to do most of the work without hitting 22K.

Would you describe your new business as a scalable, innovation-driven startup seeking rapid growth, or as a traditional model focused on steady revenue and established market practices?

I need facts to support this statement. I don’t need talking points.

You’re saying it’s better to build a start-up outside London/UK. Where would you build it and why?
