Expenses & Receipt Storage
PA cables, microphone stands, backing tracks, fuel for the van — performers have legitimate business expenses that reduce their tax bill. But most either forget to log them, lose the receipts, or aren't sure what they can actually claim.
Gigflow now handles expenses alongside your gig income, in one place.
What's new
A dedicated expenses section with categories aligned to HMRC's allowable deductions for self-employed performers. Log an expense with the amount, date, and category. Attach a photo of the receipt straight from your phone. Set recurring expenses for things like monthly subscriptions or insurance that repeat automatically.
Everything feeds into your tax year summary, so when your accountant asks for your figures, you've got them — with receipts attached.
What you can track
Equipment and instruments. PA hire and sound equipment. Professional fees (vocal coaching, PAT testing, union subscriptions). Travel costs beyond mileage. Marketing and promotion. Clothing for performance — where it qualifies. Software and subscriptions. And more, all categorised to match what HMRC expects on your Self Assessment.
Why it matters
Every expense you forget to log is tax relief you're leaving on the table. A performer spending £1,500 a year on legitimate business expenses could be saving £300-£400 in tax. Gigflow makes it easy enough to log them in the moment, so nothing gets missed.
