A dental hygenist works for two different dental practices and is concerned as to whether home to office mileage allowances can be claimed, is her self-employed status secure, and are there VAT issues
I have recently been approached by a newly-qualified dental hygienist who is operating on a self-employed basis. She currently splits her time between two dental practices.
I would welcome any advice regarding expenses claims she may make. Specific questions that come to mind are as below.
- Will she be able to claim for mileage from her home to the practices?
- Is there anything we need to watch for to ensure that her self-employed status is not queried by HMRC?
- Is VAT likely to be an issue?
Readers’ thoughts on the above and any tax VAT NIC or other points that might be relevant to this particular business would be appreciated.
