If you're self employed, a decent accountant will know what expenses
the IR will accept without question. DIYing it means they are more
likely to quibble.


IME they will also know which expensed you can "make up" without then
quibbling :-(


Can be swings and roundabouts. Some expenses you may think legitimate
aren't allowed by the IR. And they may allow some you'd not thought of.
Hence the beauty of a decent accountant.
