Default How far can you take Expenses?

I know you can but things like your Mac and the Apple Dev Program costs on your expenses but what other things can you put on?

Can you put things like the cost of graphics or like App Review costs?

For tax purposes? Consult an accountant. Dependent on your tax code you may be able to apportion some of your rent/electricity/rates/internet/phone, and expense purchases of marketing services/advertising, other iOS software/apps, iPhone/Touch/Apple related hardware, and consumables like printer paper/cartridges.

A good accountant will save you far more than they will cost.

You can expense anything that is used primarily for your business.

It seem you're in the UK? HM Revenue & Customs have some good online resources:

It depends where you are. In many European countries, you can only write off the % that is used for business. If your computer is used 50% business, 50% personal, you can only write off the 50% personal.

Promotion, art, translations, consultation, pretty much anything you can get an invoice for AND you'll be able to explain how it helped you to make business.

Be creative. For example, thanks to Santa I didn't pay tax last two months.
