I argued this with eddiegee some time back - his line was that his umbrella had a dispensation for a maximum of £26 a day, so he could claim that with no receipts etc. My line was that since mine had no limit, did that mean I could claim £1 million a day then. He didn't quite understand it, though.

He will when the taxman comes knocking.

My accountants (on of the big ones) tell me to claim my supermarket bill if/when I am away from home.
thx for all the replies every1, just reading that duality of purpose section on HMRC site.
basically on this away gig I go to tesco's and buy 3 weeks worth of tinned evening meals+bread. Then I buy cereals+milk+fruit. I cross the latter off the tesco receipt and claim the rest. i lunch eat at restaurants or the canteen on my clients site so I don't claim that either.
tbh, i dont know why we're allowed to claim dinner if a dinner "at home" hasn't gone to waste. I would have had to go to tescos "at home" for tinned food as well.
thx again for replies. richy
My argument for shopping rather than eating out is that if I ate out, I could claim an expense. It's my duty as a director of the company to ensure that all employees minimize unnecessary expenditure.
Therefore, I'm doing my role as a director by ensuring that I buy from a supermarket and save money.
