I have a client who set up as a therapist sole trader in Jan 2012, working from home. When they started out they completely redecorated their spare bedroom to make it look and feel like a therapy room, this room could not be used as anything else (all remnants of it being the spare bedroom have been removed). I have a couple of questions:
1. Can they claim the cost of redecoration (wallpaper, paint, decorators etc)
They have now moved out from this room and are renting an office in a local business park, so my second question is:
2. Can they still claim the cost of the original decoration considering they only used the room for a matter of a few months.
