But it does highlight the importance of self-employed individuals keeping their receipts as it\u2019s so easy to forget what expenses you have incurred. And please, be as savvy as my client was and organise as much of it as possible as you\u2019re going along, you\u2019ll be glad you did when it comes to filing your tax return at the end of the year.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More rewarding than a Saturday night takeaway <\/strong>\u2013 Putting the money away into a pension pot.
