Official HMRC Field Reference
This is a reference list of HMRC self-employment fields relevant to quarterly/cumulative reporting. It is separate from Ashantiβs local preview and provisional mapping.
| Section | HMRC field | Meaning | Relevant | Review | Ashanti likely source | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Income | turnover |
Takings, fees, sales or money earned by the business. | Yes | OK | diary.PaidValue | This is likely the main income figure from paid diary records. |
| Income | other |
Other business income not included in turnover. | No | Review | No current Ashanti source identified. Keep as zero unless accountant identifies another income source. | |
| Income | taxTakenOffTradingIncome |
Tax taken off trading income, apart from CIS deductions. | No | Review | diary.TaxSource | Do not assume this is Wickes/CIS. HMRC wording excludes CIS deductions, so Ashanti CIS should remain local-only for now. |
| Expenses | costOfGoods |
Goods bought for resale or goods used. | Yes | OK | Screwfix, Wickes, ToolStation, Building, Cheshires | Likely maps to materials and goods used on customer jobs. |
| Expenses | paymentsToSubcontractors |
Payments made to subcontractors. | Yes | Review | Possibly some costOfGoodsBought rows such as tiling/plumbing invoices | Current Ashanti data may mix subcontractor invoices into materials/supplier columns. Accountant should review whether these need separating. |
| Expenses | wagesAndStaffCosts |
Wages, salaries and other staff costs. | No | OK | No current staff/wages source identified. | |
| Expenses | carVanTravelExpenses |
Car, van and travel expenses. | Yes | OK | Van, Fuel | Likely maps to current motorExpenses category. Avoid double-counting simplified mileage if actual van/fuel costs are claimed. |

Rent, rates, power and insurance costs for business premises. | No | Review | Possibly Insurance, depending on type | Only relevant if Ashanti insurance relates to business premises. Needs accountant review. |
| Expenses | maintenanceCosts |
Repairs and renewals of property and equipment. | Yes | Review | Tools | Current Tools column may include small tools, blades, laser levels and equipment. Confirm whether these belong here, costOfGoods, otherExpenses, or capital treatment. |

Accountancy, legal and other professional fees. | No | Review | Could be added later if accountant/software/legal fees are tracked separately. | |
