I hope he posts the outcome of the phonecall to his brolly!

I'd like to see how they square that circle - They say that it is OK to claim without reciepts, which we know is not.

But as we've already (hopefully) established, unless he can prove they gave him such advice (and he'd have to have at least an email explicitly stating this) he wouldn't be able to use the "advice" as a defence, since as Lucifer said before, what court would believe that someone could be so naive as to believe they could claim for an expense which was not actually incurred?

I phoned the brollie and was told again that I dont need to have receipts? The guy said they had obtained Revenue approval for this and pointed me to their website. I dont trust what these people are saying so have parted company. Iam setting up my own company and getting an accountant now.Thank god I only used these people for a couple of months.

Tell you what, why not drop HMRC a line and let them know what the brolly is saying to its customers? It will be amusing to see the flood of first time posters on hear in a year or two's time asking for what to do as they have had their expenses disallowed and been presented with a tax bill plus interest and fines.

If they are making the same claims on their website, and if it's who I'm thinking of then they are, report them to the Advertising Standards Agency. They treat the content of web pages, especially the front page of a site, as an advert and police it accordingly.

I think we already suggested that...

Time to name and shame - it is clear these people (whoever they are) need a good smacking. And you don't have to be the victim to lodge a complaint with the ASA, merely someone who finds an advert misleading.
