Has anyone had to claim expenses back from previous years? I understand that it is possible to go back up to 5 years.
I have a client whose tax return I did last year. He was self employed and did CIS building work.
I am still waiting for him to drop his paperwork off for 15/16 tax return and accounts, but he has mentioned that he has reciepts from a few years back which he hasnt claimed expenses for and wants me to claim.
I can see this being a last minute panick again, but Im just trying to think how I would put these expenses through. I imagine that they are no more than fuel reciepts but could be materials too.
I thought that you only have 12 months to amend a tax return after the 31st Jan of the year it was due. If I need to bring up a tax return for 13/14 for example how can this be done or do the expenses just go on the 15/16 return with an explanation put in the additional info box?
I am also thinking that I might have to use commercial software and purchase it for the year concerned. I didnt complete this return so how can info be submitted this way.
CONFUSED!
Kind regards
