Most freelancers overpay tax because they miss claimable expenses, forget deadlines, or mix personal and business finances. GigShield fixes all three — automatically.
HMRC lets you deduct these costs from your income. Most freelancers miss at least a few.
Claim a proportion of rent, utilities and broadband if you work from home.
Design tools, cloud storage, project management and other work software.
Business-use proportion of your phone plan, broadband and data costs.
Train fares, bus tickets, mileage and accommodation for client meetings.
Courses, books, conferences and training related to your freelance work.
Fees paid to accountants or bookkeepers for your Self Assessment.
Personal pension contributions get tax relief — don’t leave it unclaimed.
Laptops, monitors, desks, chairs and other equipment for your work.
Avoid these pitfalls and you’ll keep more of what you earn.
File your Self Assessment late and HMRC charges an immediate £100 penalty — plus interest on unpaid tax. GigShield sends deadline reminders so you never get caught out.
Mixing personal and business spending makes it harder to claim expenses and increases the risk of an HMRC enquiry. GigShield categorises everything automatically.
Home office costs, software subscriptions and training are all deductible — but only if you remember to claim them. GigShield tracks every qualifying expense for you.
