How to deduct it
Our service fee for preparing and filing your order is deductible as a “legal and professional” cost — incurred wholly and exclusively for your trade, the general test for an allowable expense (Corporation Tax Act 2009 s.54 for companies; Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005 s.34 for sole traders).
- Sole trader (Self Assessment, SA103S): Box 16, “Accountancy, legal and other professional fees.”
- Limited company (CT600): no separate box — it's part of your ordinary trading expenses in the profit computation.
The Traffic Commissioner continuation/variation fee and the ICO's annual fee are recurring costs of an already-trading business, so they're generally treated the same way. A brand-new O-licence application/grant fee can be different: HMRC guidance on licences needed before you can start trading (BIM35901) means it may count as capital expenditure rather than a revenue expense. Ask your accountant how to treat that specific fee.
This is general information, not tax advice. Confirm with your accountant — deductibility depends on your specific circumstances.
