Question Author
Hello Rosetta, thanks for your reply
Yes, I did have planning permission. And Listed Building consent and Conservation Area permission. It's a bit like that round here :-)
Thaks for your useful questions buildersmate.
I use it simply as an office and have all my paperwork, books, accounts, photographs, leaflets, CVs, old recordings, old plays, scripts, records of submissions I've made and general business bumph stored there.
I don't conduct my business there. I just store all the connected paraphernalia there.
I work outside of the office on someone else's premises as a rule, such as a recording studio, theatre, studio etc.
I currently claim 20% of my household expenses for use of home as office, but would like to know (as I mainly use the building for that purpose now, rather than the house) if it's a legitimate expense.
Many thanks for your answers so far, both of you.
Further gems much appreciated!
