      I suspect doing such a thing wouldn't confirm to the purpose of your business as regards to VAT etc

          Yes you can. It could cause issues with your flat rate sector if you are on FRS. It could also cause possible issues with any retail scheme for VAT you are using.

            Any such work would also have a strong possibility of being caught by IR35 though this isn't necessarily a problem so long as you operate it properly.

                Slightly off topic, but have you ever seen the film Convoy?
