2) my understanding is you don't need to include items for review etc unless you sell them on. So companies send me items for review and I don't declare this as they are free and I only declare the ones I sell on and the money I make from them.
Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks for your response
These aren't items for review, these are just getting to keep the items as a side benefit. I've also had a test where I had to purchase a gift card, which I was reimbursed for, but I was then free to spend the gift card as well.
I appreciate this is quite a niche question but any insight you can give would be great,

Anna said:Hi,
I am considering whether to use the cash basis rather than the traditional accruals basis as think it will be simpler, does anyone else use this?
I started self employment in August but purchased equipment like my laptop in July. Under the cash basis you can deduct capital equipment as expenses rather than claiming capital allowances, but would anyone know if it is allowed even if the purchase was made 'pre trade'? I know it is for the accruals basis but not sure about the cash basis.
Things like laptops - even under the accruals basis, would it be fine to just deduct them as an expense rather than doing capital allowances?
Thanks!
