Can I claim my phone bill as self-employed?

Can I claim my phone bill as self-employed? Yes, the business share. GOV.UK's example is a £200 phone bill for the year with £70 of business calls: you claim £70. A phone service with no significant private use can be claimed in full, in 2026-27 as before. Only if private use is not significant. HMRC's manual says the full cost of the telephone service can then be claimed. Otherwise you claim the business share. Not on its own. GOV.UK says you cannot claim for any non-business use of phones, so personal use still has to come out, whatever name is on the contract. Yes, the business share. On the cash basis, the standard method for sole traders, equipment you keep is claimed as an allowable expense. Under traditional accounting it goes through capital allowances.
