Business Start Up

[Cindylou41]

Hi, a question for any tax specialists out there! I am just starting up my own business and am going to register the business after April 5 because I am not actually trading yet and I am assuming it will make it easier for the tax return. However, I have already spent money on hardware that I need, also stationery, business cards, flyers, business insurance, a domain name, a website etc. Can I offset these costs against my business in the tax year 2014/2015 even though they were purchased in March 2014?
