Self-employed cleaner? Your Self Assessment for 2025/26 is due by 31 January 2027. Expenses cleaners typically consider claiming (gov.uk lists the categories): cleaning products and supplies used for work; uniforms and protective clothing; travel between client sites (simplified mileage: 45p a mile for the first 10,000 miles in 2025/26, 55p from 6 April 2026); business insurance; the business share of your phone. If your total self-employment income is under £1,000 you may be covered by the trading allowance instead — you cannot claim expenses as well as the allowance. Check each category on gov.uk/expenses-if-youre-self-employed.
