For example if I earned 45 a year (were tax gets a lot higher) could in earn 45 thousand and then my expenses be 10000. So I earn 55 thousand but because of expense only get tax 20%?  I've recently started full text m escorting instead of every now and then for extra money. I don't think I'd earn anything near that but trying to get my head around it.

Turnover (total income amount received) - expenses then - personal allowance = taxable income.

Just wanted to know if I register tax as a nail technician but some days I'm earning 250+ will this not look very suspicious. Because I don't know many beauticians that make so much. I want to get a mortgage in a few years so do it all right.

HMRC don't care what you put down as your job title, just as long as you pay the correct tax for what you earn. So I don't think they would question it at all.

Not so. If you're a "nail tecnician" but your spending deductibles are condoms, hotels and fuel it might raise an airbrow and you can get called to clarify this. I would try to choose something more "accordingly" like maybe outcall massage therapist?

The only time HMRC will see the actual breakdown of what your expenses are is if they choose you for a random audit and you have to detail it all with receipts etc.  They do not check tax returns in any detail when submitted.  At the point of an audit you would then fess up to what you actually do, but as long as expenses are for items used for your actual job they won't care what you have put down as your job.   

They would only see at first sight turnover less expenses, which are grouped under headings, like utilities, goods etc not individual items like condoms etc.  Expenses for hotels etc would come under accommodation, so that could be a shop or anything, they would only know the ins and outs if they audited you and as I said that is the point you would fess up anyway.

Every time I do my taxes I have to fill in the boxes where I get asked what my deductible expenses are and details on how they were spent as in travel, rent, admin, phones etc.. etc... On top of that I keep my receits just in case they call me and have to proof it. I do my taxes online.

Yes I did say expenses will be 'grouped' So Rent would be under one expense whether it be hotel, flat rental etc.  Condoms would come under 'Goods bought'  so would be under all other things bought.  Most things aren't individualised.  But yes of course you have to keep your receipts.

If in any doubt whatsoever of how to do Tax Returns it is best to consult an Accountant or the HMRC themselves.  I know many people that put things through as expenses that wouldn't be allowed and all very well and good until they get audited then the shit would hit the fan and they would have to pay that back over the years they have put it though.

unless your turnover is over £85k you don't have to split up your expenses like that. it even says so on the form

As I don’t drive would I be able to claim taxis/bus fares/train fares for when I’m touring? As I wouldn’t get receipts for taxis and bus would I just keep a note of what I spent?
Also does anyone know if when I’m touring I can claim for all food I eat throughout the day?
Thank you

I've never done it but I'm sure that you can get receipts for taxis as I'm sure it is something regular business people do. Buses your ticket would be the receipt. If you pay by card for them then your bank statement would also be proof.

For food, yes you can claim for food although I'm not sure if there is a limit to how much you can claim for.

However, paper receipts can fade really quick so it may be beneficial to download a bookkeeping app that will let you scan receipts.

Yes Taxis will give receipts if you ask.
