I am currently filling in my short tax return for tax year ending 5th Apr 2010.
I purchased a laptop for £500 which I use for business purposes in Jan 2009 and didnt include this in my last tax return for yr end 5th Apr 09 which I filled in last year (stupid I know).
Can I claim anything back, even though it wasnt purchased in the tax year for which my current return is for, and if so can I include this as capital expenditure under AIA in my tax return.
sorry you won't be able to claim AIA in the following year, though it is possible you could make a repair to the 2009 tax return and include it in that. Otherwise claim capital allowances of 20% (less any personal use...but you only use this for business don't you!!)
