I probably spend £4-5 on coffee a day. I don't claim it and I wouldn't even consider it. But I have often noticed there are a lot of people, all contractors I presume, that ask for a receipt whenever they get their coffee. I've always found it odd.Comment

Wonder how that would look over 10 years, reducing your mortgage by an extra £10,000 (pfft, who still has a mortgage the long time contractors scoff!) and saving a bunch of interest.
Corp tax that would be saved = £207 (over 10 years ~£2000)
Some people will see that as being worth the effort I guess.Last edited by jmo21; 10 November 2014, 11:52.Comment

I've been trying to do what seems reasonable to me. Having a coffee paid for when I've always had that seemed something that might be OK.
Not claiming mileage when it's so close also seemed to be the right thing to do. It is however a temporary place to work and a client site all being well with 24 month rule so people are right. It's black and white so I shall claim mileage.Comment
